Conversación

    Alumno: Señora, cuando aprendimos el verbo auxiliar haber, vimos que había, el imperfecto y hube, el pretérito, se dicen lo mismo en inglés: "I had", había; "I had", hube. ¿Cuándo se usa hube y cuándo había?

    Maestra: Es muy fácil esta diferencia. Después de las palabras que expresan tiempo, como luego que, así que, tan pronto como, cuando, después de que, etc., usamos hube y había en los otros casos. Por ejemplo: "Luego que hube llegado a casa, escribí mi lección"; "Así que hube llegado a casa, escribí mi lección"; "Cuando hube llegado a casa, escribí mi lección", etc. Estas expresiones "luego que", "así que", "tan pronto como" significan en inglés "as soon as". Con el auxiliar había y el participio pasivo de los verbos se forma el pluscuamperfecto de los verbos.
