Pluscuam Perfect Preterite Tense

To form the "pretérito pluscuamperfecto" (past perfect) of the subjunctive mood, we need to use the auxiliary verb "haber" (have) in its "pretérito imperfecto" (past simple) of the subjunctive mood and the past participle of another verb.

First, to form the past participle of the regular verbs in Spanish, we need to take the verb as we find it in the dictionary and remove the last two letters.

Then, if the verb ends in:

"-ar" we will add the ending "-ado" 
"-er" or "-ir" we will add the ending "-ido"
