Auxiliary verb in perfect tenses	avoir	avere	haver	haber	ter

The periphrastic past in Catalan is an alternative to the preterite. It is formed by using anar as an auxiliary verb followed by the infinitive.

vaig fer
vas fer
va fer
vam fer
vau fer
van fer

There is an alternative form of the imperfect subjunctive in Spanish, which is more similar to Portuguese. Simply replace -ra- with -se- for all conjugations:

hiciera / hiciese
hicieras / hicieses
hiciera / hiciese
hiciéramos / hiciésemos
hicierais / hicieseis
hicieran / hiciesen

The future subjunctive is only used in formal or literary Spanish, but it is easy to conjugate since it is nearly identical to the imperfect subjunctive forms. The future subjunctive in Portuguese is very common and the same endings are used for the personal infinitive (see below).

Spanish	Portuguese
hiciere	fizer
hicieres	fizeres
hiciere	fizer
hiciéremos	fizermos
hiciereis	fizerdes
hicieren	fizerem

The personal infinitive in Portuguese uses the infinitive as the stem + the endings of the future subjunctive.

fazer
fazeres
fazer
fazermos
fazerdes
fazerem

There is an alternative form of the past perfect in Portuguese which only uses one word rather than an auxiliary verb + past participle. These conjugations are quite similar to the imperfect subjunctive conjugations using -ra- in Spanish. However, this simple form is only used in formal or literary Portuguese. (Note that the imperfect subjunctive in Spanish using -ra- can also be used in formal or literary language as an alternative to the compound past perfect.)

fizera
fizeras
fizera
fizéramos
fizéreis
fizeram
