**Pluperfect subjunctive: imperfect subjunctive of ''aver'' + participle
**Pluperfect subjunctive: imperfect subjunctive of ''aver'' + participle
**Future perfect subjunctive: future subjunctive of ''aver'' + participle
**Future perfect subjunctive: future subjunctive of ''aver'' + participle
====Irregular verbs====
*Stem-changing verbs have predictable sound changes when the stem is stressed. Common varieties include:
**''-o-'' > ''-ue-''
**''-e-'' > ''-ie-''
**''-ch-'' > ''-it-''
*Many verbs have an irregular 1S present indicative form. When this occurs, this irregular stem is also used to form the present subjunctive. In the case of stem-changing verbs, stem vowel changes still apply.
*The future may have an irregular stem before ''-r-'' formed by contraction. This happens especially often with ''-er'' verbs. The conditional always has the same stem as the future.
*The preterite may have an irregular stem, in which case the endings are as below (with a few exceptions):
{| class=wikitable style="text-align:center"
! Person/Number !! Preterite ending
|-
!1S
| -i
|-
! 2S
| -es
|-
!3S
| -o
|-
!1P
| -ién
|-
!2P
| -iez
|-
!3P
| -ién
|-
|}
:The pluperfect indicative, imperfect subjunctive, and future subjunctive stems are always formed by removing ''-s'' from the 2S preterite and adding the appropriate endings starting from the consonant.
*Regular verbs whose stems end in ''-c-, -g-, -qu-, -gu-, -qü-, -gü-, -ch-'' have spelling changes in order to maintain the same pronunciation in front of front and back vowels, as per the table below.
{| class=wikitable style="text-align:center"
! Phoneme !! Before front vowels !! Before back vowels !! Remarks
|-
| /k/
| qu || c ||
|-
| /tʃ/
| c || ch || Becomes ''-ch'' when word-final.
|-
| /ɡ ~ ɣ/
| gu || g ||
|-
| /dʒ ~ ʒ/
| g || j || This spelling change does not apply if the infinitive is spelled with ''-j-'', in which case this spelling is maintained.
|-
| /kw/
| qü || qu ||
|-
| /ɡw ~ ɣw/
| gü || gu ||
|}
:Note that many verbs ending in ''-cer, -cir'' irregularly maintain their spelling in the 1S present indicative with the corresponding pronunciation change.
<!--
*There are various verbs ending in ''-uyir/-uwir''. These verbs, as well as ''oyir/owir'' "to hear" have two forms: a mostly regular form in ''-yir'', and a form in ''-wir'' with an irregular present indicative in the 1S and a present subjunctive where the ''-w-'' is replaced with ''-y-''.-->
