| El Pluscuamperfecto de Subjuntivo
The pluperfect subjunctive
is formed with the past subjunctive of haber + the past
participle of the verb you would like to use. There are two kinds of
endings, one for -ar verbs and one for those ending in -er or
-ir.
 The
past participle always ends in "o". You don't have to match it with the
subject.
