In this lesson we are going to learn how to conjugate the verb doler in the Futuro Perfecto tense of the Subjuntivo mood. It means we will see step by step how to get the following conjugation:
yo | hubiere dolido |

él/ella/usted | hubiere dolido |
nosotros/nosotras | hubiéremos dolido |
vosotros/vosotras | hubiereis dolido |
ellos/ellas/ustedes | hubieren dolido |
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 conjugated 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:

See 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 doler only here. 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 very easy to do – simply remove two letters from the end of the infinitive form and you have the ending – one of -ar, -er, -ir. What’s left is the stem. So in case of our verb:
|
Based on the ending of the infinitive we can tell that doler belongs to the -er verb group. This group, in turn, uses the -ido ending in its Participio form. Putting all that together, our Participio is: dolido. And now, as we understand how both parts used by this tense are created separately, let’s move on with creating the final conjugation forms. |
In order to create the first person singular form, we need to take the first person singular form of haber conjugated in Futuro de Subjuntivo, which is hubiere. And to that we add the Participio dolido to get hubiere dolido:
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 that is hubieres. To this auxiliary verb we add the Participio dolido (so the exact same word as previously) to get hubieres dolido:
|
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 dolido:
The first person plural has the form hubiéremos dolido. 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 doler: dolido to get hubiéremos dolido:
|
Again, let’s do the same for the second person plural. We need to get the inflected form of the verb haber in the Futuro de Subjuntivo tense, second person plural, and it is hubiereis. Next, we take our unchanged Participio, we join them, and we get hubiereis dolido:
And finally, the last grammatical person on the list, the third person plural, has the form hubieren dolido. 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 doler again (dolido) to get hubieren dolido:
