Step by step instructions

Futuro Perfecto is a compound tense (Spanish: compuesto). It means that all of its inflected forms consist of two words. In Spanish language, there are also simple tenses, where each inflected verb form is one word long.

A compound tense is indicated by the ending of the auxiliary verb, not by the ending of the main verb, which is the case in Spanish simple tenses.

In the compound tenses, every person’s form consist of two parts:
  • An inflected form of the auxiliary verb haber. In case of the Futuro Perfecto de Subjuntivo tense, we use the Futuro de Subjuntivo (Future Subjunctive) conjugation of haber
  • Past Participle, which is always the same in every compound tense for a given verb

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 have to start by splitting the infinitive into a stem and an ending. It’s very easy to do – just remove two letters from the end of the infinitive form to get the ending – one of -ar, -er, -ir. What’s left is the stem.

So in case of our verb:
  • the stem is: aprob-
  • and the ending is: -ar
Based on the ending of the infinitive we can recognize that aprobar belongs to the -ar verb group. This group, in turn, uses the -ado ending in its Participio form. Putting all that together, our Participio is: aprobado.

Now, as we understand how both parts used by this tense are created separately, we can move on with creating the final conjugation forms.

  • yo hubiere aprobado


Next, to create the form for the second person singular, we again simply take the second person singular form of haber from the Futuro de Subjuntivo tense, and it is hubieres. To this auxiliary verb we add the Participio aprobado (so the exact same word as previously) to get hubieres aprobado:
  • tú hubieres aprobado
Similarly, if we want to create the form for the third person singular, we conjugate haber in the Futuro tense and we utilize the corresponding person’s form (third person singular), namely hubiere. Then we also take the same Participio as for all other persons, and putting them together we get hubiere aprobado:
  • él hubiere aprobado
  • ella hubiere aprobado
  • usted hubiere aprobado


The first person plural has the form hubiéremos aprobado. 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 Futuro de Subjuntivo tense: hubiéremos. Second, and to this word we again add the Participio of aprobar: aprobado to get hubiéremos aprobado:
  • nosotros hubiéremos aprobado
  • nosotras hubiéremos aprobado

We need to get the inflected form of the verb haber in the Futuro de Subjuntivo tense, second person plural, and that’s hubiereis. Next, we take the unchanged Participio, we join them, and we get hubiereis aprobado:
  • vosotros hubiereis aprobado
  • vosotras hubiereis aprobado


And finally, the last grammatical person on the list, the third person plural, has the form hubieren aprobado. 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 Futuro conjugation. It is hubieren. We add the Participio of aprobar again (aprobado) to get hubieren aprobado:
  • ellos hubieren aprobado
  • ellas hubieren aprobado
  • ustedes hubieren aprobado

This is it! The conjugation is now done. But don’t end your session yet – it is very important to repeat and practice the material in order to retain it. Check below for some links.
