In this Spanish conjugation lesson we are going to learn how to conjugate the verb cansar 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 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

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.

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 will focus on the parts derived from cansar 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 have to 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 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.

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 Futuro de Subjuntivo, which is hubiere. And to that we add the Participio cansado to get hubiere cansado:

• yo hubiere cansado – I will have fatigued

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. To this auxiliary verb we add the Participio cansado (so the exact same word as previously) to get hubieres cansado:

• tú hubieres cansado – you will have fatigued

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

• él hubiere cansado – he will have fatigued
• ella hubiere cansado – she will have fatigued
• usted hubiere cansado – (formal) you will have fatigued

The first person plural has the form hubiéremos 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 Futuro de Subjuntivo tense: hubiéremos. Second, to this word we again add the Participio of cansar: cansado to get hubiéremos cansado:

• nosotros hubiéremos cansado – we will have fatigued
• nosotras hubiéremos cansado – (feminine) we will have fatigued

Again, let’s do the same for the second person plural. We have to get the inflected form of the verb haber in the Futuro de Subjuntivo tense, second person plural, and it’s hubiereis. Next, we take the unchanged Participio, we join them, and we get hubiereis cansado:

• vosotros hubiereis cansado – (plural) you will have fatigued
• vosotras hubiereis cansado – (feminine, plural) you will have fatigued

And finally, the last grammatical person on the list, the third person plural, has the form hubieren 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 Futuro conjugation. It is hubieren. We add the Participio of cansar again (cansado) to get hubieren cansado:

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

¡Ya está! The conjugation is now complete. That’s the final result:

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