How to translate Condicional Perfecto to English

Notice that the phrases in English provided below next to each conjugation are not direct translations from Spanish to English. They are usually the closest general equivalents. The example differences are:
  • In Spanish conjugation, there is the form usted in the third person singular. But this person does not translate to the English third person singular. It translates to the so called formal you and uses the inflected form which is most often represented as he/she/it in English conjugation charts.
  • Similar situation happens in the third person plural, where ustedes translates to the English plural formal you but uses the form which corresponds to the they form in English.
  • Tenses are used differently in Spanish and English, so the actual translation should always take into account the context and focus on translating the meaning, not just words.
  • In both languages each verb may have multiple meanings and not every meaning translates directly to the other language. Here also, the context and focusing on the particular meaning helps to create the most accurate translation.

Step by step instructions

Condicional Perfecto 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.

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:
  • A conjugated form of the auxiliary verb haber. In case of the Condicional Perfecto de Indicativo tense, we use the Condicional Simple de Indicativo (Conditional) conjugation of haber
  • Past Participle, which is always the same in every compound tense for a given verb
Check out the conjugation charts and this haber conjugation lesson to learn how to conjugate the auxiliary verb haber. That’s a separate topic, so for brevity we are focusing on the parts derived from hacer only in this lesson.This verb has an irregular Participle which needs to be remembered. It is hecho.
In order to create the first person singular form, we need to take the first person singular form of haber conjugated in Condicional Simple de Indicativo, which is habría. To that we add the Participio hecho to get habría hecho:
  • yo habría hecho – I would have done
Next, to create the form for the second person singular, we again simply take the second person singular form of haber from the Condicional Simple de Indicativo tense, and that is habrías. To this auxiliary verb we add the Participio hecho (so the exact same word as previously) to get habrías hecho:
  • tú habrías hecho – you would have done
Similarly, if we want to create the form for the third person singular, we conjugate haber in the Condicional tense and we use the corresponding person’s form (third person singular), namely habría. Then we also take the same Participio as for all other persons, and putting them together we get habría hecho:
  • él habría hecho – he would have done
  • ella habría hecho – she would have done
  • usted habría hecho – (formal) you would have done

The first person plural has the form habríamos hecho. 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 Condicional Simple de Indicativo tense: habríamos. Second, to this word we again add the Participio of hacer: hecho to get habríamos hecho:
  • nosotros habríamos hecho – we would have done
  • nosotras habríamos hecho – (feminine) we would have done
Again, let’s do the same for the second person plural. We need to get the conjugated form of the verb haber in the Condicional Simple de Indicativo tense, second person plural, and that’s habríais. Next, we take our unchanged Participio, we join them, and we get habríais hecho:
  • vosotros habríais hecho – (plural) you would have done
  • vosotras habríais hecho – (feminine, plural) you would have done
And finally, the last grammatical person on the list, the third person plural, has the form habrían hecho. 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 Condicional conjugation. It is habrían. We add the Participio of hacer again (hecho) to get habrían hecho:
  • ellos habrían hecho – they would have done
  • ellas habrían hecho – (feminine) they would have done
  • ustedes habrían hecho – (formal, plural) you would have done

Hurray! The conjugation is now finished. The final result looks as follows:

yohabría hechoI would have done
habrías hechoyou would have done
él/ella/ustedhabría hechohe/she/it would have done
nosotros/nosotrashabríamos hechowe would have done
vosotros/vosotrashabríais hechoyou would have done
ellos/ellas/ustedeshabrían hechothey would have done
