Future perfect & conditional perfect
habré + participle (the -ado / -ido form, like English "eaten") = "will have done"; habría + participle = "would have done".
Examples
- Para mañana habré terminado.By tomorrow I'll have finished.
- Habría llamado, pero no podía.I would have called, but I couldn't.
- Habrá llegado ya.He must have arrived by now.
How it works
Two compound tenses built from haber + past participle (the -ado / -ido form, like English "eaten").
FUTURE PERFECT (futuro compuesto): habré + past participle.
completed future, OR conjecture about the past.
Conjugation (the verb's forms for each person):
Examples:
By tomorrow I will have finished.
By 2030 they will have built the bridge.
He must have arrived already. (conjecture about past)
CONDITIONAL PERFECT (condicional compuesto): habría + past participle.
Conjugation:
Examples:
I would have called, but I didn't have a phone.
If I had studied, I would have passed.
The si-clause uses hubiera (the past subjunctive of haber) + participle:
If you had come, you would have had fun.
If we had left earlier, we would have arrived on time.
Past participle is invariable after haber. Same irregulars: hecho, dicho, visto, puesto, abierto, escrito, vuelto.
