How do you form the pluperfect in Spanish?

Answer 1

Pluperfect or Past perfect tense is called "Préterito Pluscuanperfecto" in Spanish.

This tense is formed for the auxiliary verb "haber" in its Imperfect form "había" and the main verb in its participle form. The general idea is to conjugate the verb giving the idea of an action done during the past, but not at present .

Examples:

Yo había comido

I had eaten

Tú habías saltado

You had jumped

Él había bebido

He had drunk
