#1 Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto B is a compound tense (Spanish: compuesto). It means that all of its conjugated forms consist of two words. In Spanish language, there are also simple tenses, where each conjugated verb form is one word long.

In a compound tense the endings of the auxiliary verb change, not the endings of the main verb, which is the case in Spanish simple tenses.
#2 In the compound tenses, every person’s form consist of two parts:
  • An inflected form of the auxiliary verb haber. In case of the Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto de Subjuntivo B tense, we use the Pretérito Imperfecto de Subjuntivo B (Imperfect Subjunctive B) conjugation of haber
  • Past Participle, which is always the same in every compound tense for a given verb
#3 Refer to the conjugation charts to learn how to conjugate the auxiliary verb haber. That’s a separate topic, so for brevity we’ll focus on the parts derived from rugir only here.
#4 In order to create the Participio form, we need a stem and an ending. We use the stem of the infinitive of the main verb, and a single ending, which depends on the conjugation group of the main verb. So we begin by splitting the infinitive into a stem and an ending. It’s really easy to do – simply remove two letters from the end of the infinitive and you have the ending – one of -ar, -er, -ir. What’s left is the stem.
#5 So for rugir:
  • the stem is: rug-
  • and the ending is: -ir
#6 Based on the ending of the infinitive we can recognize that rugir belongs to the -ir verb group. This group, in turn, uses the -ido ending in its Participio form. Putting all that together, our Participio is: rugido.

Now, as we understand how both parts used by this tense are created separately, let’s move on with creating the final conjugation forms.
#7 In order to create the first person singular form, we simply take the first person singular form of haber conjugated in Pretérito Imperfecto de Subjuntivo B, which is hubiese. And to that we add the Participio rugido to get hubiese rugido:
  • yo hubiese rugido
#8 Next, to create the form for the second person singular, we again need to take the second person singular form of haber from the Pretérito Imperfecto de Subjuntivo B tense, and that is hubieses. And to this auxiliary verb we add the Participio rugido (so the exact same word as previously) to get hubieses rugido:
  • tú hubieses rugido
#9 Similarly, if we want to create the form for the third person singular, we conjugate haber in the Pretérito Imperfecto B tense and we utilize the corresponding person’s form (third person singular), namely hubiese. Then we also take the same Participio as for all other persons, and putting them together we get hubiese rugido:
  • él hubiese rugido
  • ella hubiese rugido
  • usted hubiese rugido
#10 The first person plural has the form hubiésemos rugido. It’s created by following the same logic as in the other persons. We first take the form of the first person plural from haber conjugation in the Pretérito Imperfecto de Subjuntivo B tense: hubiésemos. Second, to this word we again add the Participio of rugir: rugido to get hubiésemos rugido:
  • nosotros hubiésemos rugido
  • nosotras hubiésemos rugido
#11 Again, let’s do the same for the second person plural. We need to get the inflected form of the verb haber in the Pretérito Imperfecto de Subjuntivo B tense, second person plural, and that’s hubieseis. Next, we take the unchanged Participio, we join them, and we get hubieseis rugido:
  • vosotros hubieseis rugido
  • vosotras hubieseis rugido
#12 And finally, the last grammatical person on the list, the third person plural, has the form hubiesen rugido. We create it in the exact same manner as in all the other grammatical persons. We need the third person plural of haber first, from its Pretérito Imperfecto B conjugation. It is hubiesen. We add the Participio of rugir again (rugido) to get hubiesen rugido:
  • ellos hubiesen rugido
  • ellas hubiesen rugido
  • ustedes hubiesen rugido
