We are going to cover the conditional perfect tense in Spanish.
The conditional perfect is used to express possibility in the past, and actions that could or would have taken place as a consequence of a hypothetical past.
For example:
Cuando era pequeño nunca habría imaginado que un día viviría en otro país.
When I was little, I would have never imagined that one day I would live in another country.
The conditional perfect is conjugated with the verb haber in the conditional plus the main verb.
The ending of the verbs -ar is replaced with -ado and the ending of the verbs -er, -ir is replaced with -ido.
Let’s look at an example with the verb beber:
Yo habría bebido
Tú habrías bebido
Ella, él, usted habría bebido
Nosotr@s habríamos bebido
Ellas, ellos, ustedes habrían bebido
Note: The use of the imperfect subjunctive form of haber (hubiera) in the conditional perfect is widespread and accepted.
For example:
Yo hubiera bebido.
