As a main verb or an auxiliary verb?
impersonal haber? In the subjunctive mood: (imperfect-there was, were=hubiera and pluscuamperfecto-there had been=hubiera habido)
Here is just one situation where hubiera is used: forming the past perfect subjunctive (pluscuamperfecto de subjuntivo) in if clauses
Past time situations. Past perfect subjunctive in the “if” clause, conditional perfect in the main clause:
- Si la hubiera visto, habría dicho algo.
If I had seen her [I didn't see her] I would have said something.
Si hubieras venido, te habrías divertido mucho.
If you had come [you didn't come] you would have had a great time.
¿Habrías ido a la fiesta si yo la hubiera planeado?
- Would you have gone to the party if I had planned it? [I didn't plan it]
I wouldn't try tackling all of the ways that hubiera could be used at one time. Try learning the past tense of the subjunctive, then the past perfect tense of the subjunctive. The impersonal tenses are formed the same, but different meaning. If clauses are better studied separately.
