Pluperfect indicatice

Question

Is the pluperfect indicative of hacer in the yo form: habia hecho or just habia

Answer 1

Pluperfect Tense

The pluperfect tense expresses an action that happened before another action. For example, Ella ya había leído acerca de la cultura china cuando viajó. (She had already read about the Chinese culture when she traveled.)



The imperfect tense of the verb haber is conjugated + past participle of the second verb.

Therefore, you have to use: había hecho.

Answer 2

Hello Ally,

 

You need the hecho because the pluscuamperfecto is a compound tense, meaning it's formed by 2 verb forms, one of them is a form of haber, here: habia, in the imperfect tense, and the other is the participle or: hecho. Together, habia hecho means "I have done".
