How to translate Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto B to English
Note that the English phrases 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
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 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 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
- the stem is: ador-
- and the ending is: -ar
Now, as we understand how both parts used by this tense are created separately, let’s proceed with creating the final conjugation forms. 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. To that we add the Participio adorado to get hubiese adorado:
- yo hubiese adorado – I had adored
- tú hubieses adorado – you had adored
- él hubiese adorado – he had adored
- ella hubiese adorado – she had adored
- usted hubiese adorado – (formal) you had adored
- nosotros hubiésemos adorado – we had adored
- nosotras hubiésemos adorado – (feminine) we had adored
- vosotros hubieseis adorado – (plural) you had adored
- vosotras hubieseis adorado – (feminine, plural) you had adored
- ellos hubiesen adorado – they had adored
- ellas hubiesen adorado – (feminine) they had adored
- ustedes hubiesen adorado – (formal, plural) you had adored
Hurray! The conjugation is now done. Put together, the conjugation chart looks like this:
yo | hubiese adorado | I had adored |
tú | hubieses adorado | you had adored |
él/ella/usted | hubiese adorado | he/she/it had adored |
nosotros/nosotras | hubiésemos adorado | we had adored |
