The Pluperfect Subjunctive in Hindi grammar, also known as the past perfect subjunctive or भूतपूर्व कालिक आशयबोध (Bhutapurva Kalik Aashayabodha), is used to express hypothetical or contrary-to-fact situations in the past. This tense is formed by combining the past participle of the verb with the appropriate form of the auxiliary verb, “to be” (होना – hona) and “to have” (रहना – rahna). It is mainly used in conditional sentences to show how things would have been different if certain conditions had been fulfilled.
