Auxiliary verb used 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 donar
vas donar
va donar
vam donar
vau donar
van donar

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:

diera / diese
dieras / dieses
diera / diese
diéramos / diésemos
dierais / dieseis
dieran / diesen

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
diere der
dieres deres
diere der
diéremos dermos
diereis derdes
dieren derem

There is an alternative form of the past perfect in Portugueuse 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.)

dera
deras
dera
déramos
déreis
deram

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

dar
dares
dar
darmos
dardes
darem
