First, let\u00b4s practice conjugating some regular Spanish verbs in El Pret\u00e9rito Pluscuamperfecto. I will say a person (yo, t\u00fa, usted etc) and a regular Spanish verb and I would like you to conjugate the verb in the correct way for the Spanish El Pret\u00e9rito Pluscuamperfecto: (For example: Nosotros \/ hablar: hab\u00edamos hablado)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ustedes \/ beber<br \/>\nYo \/ ir<br \/>\nEllos \/ estar<br \/>\nNosotros \/ vivir<br \/>\nElla \/ trabajar<br \/>\nVosotros \/ comprar<br \/>\nUsted \/ estudiar<br \/>\nT\u00fa \/ comprender<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Now, let\u00b4s do the same with some irregular Spanish verbs: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vosotros \/ decir<br \/>\nUsted \/ ver<br \/>\nNosotros \/ hacer<br \/>\n\u00c9l \/ romper<br \/>\nT\u00fa \/ abrir<br \/>\nEllas \/ volver<br \/>\nYo \/ poner<br \/>\nUstedes \/ escribir<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Next, please answer the following questions using the Pret\u00e9rito Pluscuamperfecto of the same verb. For example: \u201cPedro  estudi\u00f3 mucho, as\u00ed que tuvo una buena nota en el examen. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 tuvo una buena nota? Porque hab\u00eda estudiado mucho:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mar\u00eda sali\u00f3 a las doce y t\u00fa llamaste a las doce y media. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 no pudiste hablar con ella?<br \/>\nEl mi\u00e9rcoles pasado nev\u00f3 mucho. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 no pude ir al trabajo en coche el jueves pasado?<br \/>\nLa se\u00f1ora se cay\u00f3 y se rompi\u00f3 la pierna saliendo de su casa. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 no pod\u00eda andar despu\u00e9s?<br \/>\nMis hermanos dijeron: &#8220;Ya la hemos visto.&#8221; \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 no quer\u00edan ver esa pel\u00edcula?<br \/>\nNos dijeron que el museo Lovre de Par\u00eds es impresionante. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 fuimos a Par\u00eds?<br \/>\nLa madre dijo &#8220;\u00bfTe has lavado las manos, Carlitos?&#8221; \u00bfQu\u00e9 quer\u00eda saber la madre?<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Finally, please try to answer the following questions using the Pret\u00e9rito Pluscuamperfecto of any verb:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Julieta no estaba muerta, pero cuando Romeo vio a Julieta en la tumba, se mat\u00f3. \u00bfQu\u00e9 cre\u00eda?<br \/>\nOlvid\u00e9 mis llaves en el coche. Despu\u00e9s, las busqu\u00e9 en casa pero no las encontr\u00e9. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9?<br \/>\nEsta serie de televisi\u00f3n empieza a las diez de la noche y acaba a las doce. Yo normalmente me acuesto a las diez y media. Ayer quise ver la serie. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 crees que no vi el final?<br \/>\nCarmen fue a  comprar entradas para el concierto de Shakira, pero cuando lleg\u00f3 a la taquilla ya no quedaban entradas. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 no pudo asistir al espect\u00e1culo?<\/p>\n<p>Esto es todo por hoy.<\/p>\n<p>El Pret\u00e9rito Pluscuamperfecto is used in exactly the same way as its English equivalent the Past Perfect. It also has the same irregular verbs as the Spanish grammar tense El Pret\u00e9rito Perfecto, so I hope it is not too difficult for you. However, as always, try to watch this video and the original theory video a few times until you feel 100% confident using El Pret\u00e9rito Pluscuamperfecto correctly.<\/p>\n<p>Have a great week!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Hasta la pr\u00f3xima semana!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you are enjoying my weekly interactive Spanish lessons.
