pluperfect subjuntive
This is formed by HUBIERA + PAST PARTICIPLE and can be used to talk about a hypothetical situation that didn't happen in the past.
For example:
For example:
- if I had seen that car, I wouldn't have had the accident - si hubiera visto el coche, no habría tenido el accidente (but it's all in the past so I can't change any of the events)
- if she had married him, she wouldn't have travelled so much - si se hubiera casado con él, no habría viajado tanto (but she didn't marry him, so the second part is just hypothesising about the past)
