Habíais

Habíais is a Spanish verb form. It is the second-person plural imperfect indicative of the verb haber. The verb haber in Spanish has multiple functions, primarily as an auxiliary verb in compound tenses and as an impersonal verb meaning "there is" or "there are."

When used as an auxiliary verb, habíais forms the pluperfect indicative tense. This tense describes an action that was completed before another past action. For example, "Vosotros habíais comido" translates to "You (plural, informal) had eaten." The subject pronoun vosotros is often omitted in spoken Spanish, so the form habíais alone implies the second-person plural subject.

As an impersonal verb, haber is used in the third-person singular form, not habíais. Therefore, habíais is exclusively used when referring to "you all" (vosotros) as the subject performing or having performed an action in the past. It is important to distinguish this from the imperfect indicative of other verbs, where habíais would directly indicate the subject. The usage of habíais is specific to the pluperfect tense when referring to the informal plural "you."
