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

How to translate Condicional Perfecto to English

Note 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 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:

• An inflected 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

See 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 will focus on the parts derived from cansar 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 begin by splitting the infinitive into a stem and an ending. It’s really easy to do – simply 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: cans-
• and the ending is: -ar

Based on the ending of the infinitive we can recognize that cansar 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: cansado.

And now, as we understand how both parts used by this tense are created separately, we can 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 Condicional Simple de Indicativo, which is habría. And to that we add the Participio cansado to get habría cansado:

• yo habría cansado – I would have fatigued

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 cansado (so the exact same word as previously) to get habrías cansado:

• tú habrías cansado – you would have fatigued

Similarly, if we want to create the form for the third person singular, we conjugate haber in the Condicional tense and we utilize 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 cansado:

• él habría cansado – he would have fatigued
• ella habría cansado – she would have fatigued
• usted habría cansado – (formal) you would have fatigued

The first person plural has the form habríamos cansado. 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 cansar: cansado to get habríamos cansado:

• nosotros habríamos cansado – we would have fatigued
• nosotras habríamos cansado – (feminine) we would have fatigued

Again, let’s do the same for the second person plural. We have to get the conjugated form of the verb haber in the Condicional Simple de Indicativo tense, second person plural, and it’s habríais. Next, we take the unchanged Participio, we join them, and we get habríais cansado:

• vosotros habríais cansado – (plural) you would have fatigued
• vosotras habríais cansado – (feminine, plural) you would have fatigued

And finally, the last grammatical person on the list, the third person plural, has the form habrían cansado. 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 cansar again (cansado) to get habrían cansado:

• ellos habrían cansado – they would have fatigued
• ellas habrían cansado – (feminine) they would have fatigued
• ustedes habrían cansado – (formal, plural) you would have fatigued

¡Ya está! The conjugation is now finished. The final result looks as follows:

yo	habría cansado	I would have fatigued
tú	habrías cansado	you would have fatigued
él/ella/usted	habría cansado	he/she/it would have fatigued
nosotros/nosotras	habríamos cansado	we would have fatigued
vosotros/vosotras	habríais cansado	you would have fatigued
ellos/ellas/ustedes	habrían cansado	they would have fatigued
