In this conjugation lesson we will learn how to inflect the verb querer in the Futuro Perfecto tense of the Subjuntivo mood. It means we will see step by step how to create and translate forms of each grammatical person.

How to translate Futuro 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

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.

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.In the compound tenses, every person’s form consist of two parts:

• A conjugated 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

Check out the conjugation charts to learn how to conjugate the auxiliary verb haber. That’s a separate topic, so for brevity we’re focusing on the parts derived from querer only in this lesson.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 need to start by splitting the infinitive into a stem and an ending. It’s easy to do – just remove two letters from the end of the infinitive to get the ending – one of -ar, -er, -ir. What’s left is the stem.So in case of our verb:

• the stem is: quer-
• and the ending is: -er

Based on the ending of the infinitive we can recognize that querer 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: querido.

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 querido to get hubiere querido:

• yo hubiere querido – I will have wanted

Next, to create the form for the second person singular, we again need to take the second person singular form of haber from the Futuro de Subjuntivo tense, and that is hubieres. And to this auxiliary verb we add the Participio querido (so the exact same word as previously) to get hubieres querido:

• tú hubieres querido – you will have wanted

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 querido:

• él hubiere querido – he will have wanted
• ella hubiere querido – she will have wanted
• usted hubiere querido – (formal) you will have wanted

The first person plural has the form hubiéremos querido. 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 querer: querido to get hubiéremos querido:

• nosotros hubiéremos querido – we will have wanted
• nosotras hubiéremos querido – (feminine) we will have wanted

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 that’s hubiereis. Next, we take the unchanged Participio, we join them, and we get hubiereis querido:

• vosotros hubiereis querido – (plural) you will have wanted
• vosotras hubiereis querido – (feminine, plural) you will have wanted

And finally, the last grammatical person on the list, the third person plural, has the form hubieren querido. 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 querer again (querido) to get hubieren querido:

• ellos hubieren querido – they will have wanted
• ellas hubieren querido – (feminine) they will have wanted
• ustedes hubieren querido – (formal, plural) you will have wanted

This is it! The conjugation is now done. The final result looks as follows:

yo	hubiere querido	I will have wanted
tú	hubieres querido	you will have wanted
él/ella/usted	hubiere querido	he/she/it will have wanted
nosotros/nosotras	hubiéremos querido	we will have wanted
vosotros/vosotras	hubiereis querido	you will have wanted
ellos/ellas/ustedes	hubieren querido	they will have wanted
