My keys went missing this morning- I have gone looking everywhere that I went since I last saw them, but they seem gone for good, and now I don't know where the day went.

Se perdieron mis llaves esta mañana- He ido buscando por todos partes a donde fui desde que las vi la por última vez, pero parecen perdidas que se perdieron para siempre, y ahora no sé qué ha pasado con el día.

Answer 7

He went to his girlfriend's house and found out that she had gone to a party with another guy.

Él fue a la casa de su novia y descubrió que ella había ido a una fiesta con otro hombre.

(Should it be "hubo ido"?)

Check the conjugation of ir on this site. There is a little question mark in a circle by each tense. I looked at both the preterite perfect and past perfect can't really decide either. - Jubilado, Sep 14, 2015

Almost always you will use the imperfect to create the past perfect, and use hubo only as preterit of hay. There is a tense "pretérito anterior", that uses the preterit of haber in a perfect, but it is rare and confined mostly to formal writing. - bosquederoble, Sep 14, 2015

At least that is how I understand it. As such you almost never use any other form of preterit for haber than hubo. If you find yourself saying hube or hubimos, question it. :) - bosquederoble, Sep 14, 2015

Here are some examples of use however: https://es.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100902111513AANuhlD - bosquederoble, Sep 14, 2015

Thanks for the link, bosque. My sentence seems rather similar to the first example. If I'm translating the Spanish accurately, it's a matter of how much further in the past the action in the dependent clause took place. - AnnRon, Sep 14, 2015

My point though, is that unless you are being literary, it is not used normally, and the regular preterit is used in most natural speech in its place. :) - bosquederoble, Sep 14, 2015

"había ido" is the way I say it. I have never seen heard or read "hubo ido" Never! - Daniela2041, Sep 14, 2015

:) - ian-hill, Sep 14, 2015

it is perfect! - Pablo064, Sep 14, 2015

Precisely my point, it is a tense only used in very formal literary usages, essentially only in Spain, and not used by normal speakers. As such I do not think second language learners should use it, any more than they should use future subjunctive. :) - bosquederoble, Sep 14, 2015

Thanks for the discussion, you guys. It's great to have knowledgeable people to give advice on matters such as this. - AnnRon, Sep 14, 2015

When I was 13 I was invited to a party with my girlfriend ,I could not go I had tonsillitis , she wrote me after saying she met a new"boyfriend" who writes better than you ,I still don't believe that he could tho. - ray76, Sep 21, 2015
