Conditional Perfect
Perfect tenses use a form of "to have" along with the past participle of the verb or action stated. The participle form in English is the "---ed" form of a verb.
An English Verb Conjugated in the Past Perfect Tense
I would have slept we would have slept
you would have slept y'all would have slept
he, she, it would have slept they would have slept
Note that the only change in these tenses is what you do with the verb to have. The same thing will be true in Spanish.

In Spanish, you use the verb haber (to be) along with the -ado or -ido form of a verb.
AR verbs: -ado
ER & IR verbs: -ido

For - AR verbs:
For putting an -ar verb into the conditional perfect, study the following chart where haber is conjugated in the conditional. You can substitute any -ar verb stem into the ---- (dashes) and attach the -ado ending to achieve the results in the right column.
future tense forms ofHABER+past participleof the verb----- AR
habría ----- ado I would have ----- ed
habrías ----- ado you would have ----- ed
habría ----- ado he would have ----- ed
habría ----- ado she would have ----- ed
habría ----- ado you would have ----- ed
habríamos ----- ado we would have ----- ed
habríamos ----- ado we(ladies)would have ----- ed
vosotros

vosotras
habríais ----- ado y'all (ladies) would have ----- ed
habrían ----- ado they would have ----- ed
habrían ----- ado they(ladies)would have ----- ed
habrían ----- ado y'all would have ----- ed
This is what someone "will have done" ...
Take very special care to note that many English verbs have irregular past participles. You can tell which verbs these are because of their ability to be combined with the verb "to have" to form the perfect tenses.

For - ER verbs:
For putting ER verbs into the conditional perfect, study the following chart where haber is conjugated in the conditional. You can substitute any -er verb stem into the ---- (dashes) and attach the -ido ending to achieve the results in the right column.
