When do we need to use the imperfect subjunctive? ✔ The tense that is used in the main sentence, helps us to select the tense we need to use in the subordinate clause: ➨ Present subjunctive: When the verb of the main sentence expresses a concept about the subordinate clause in the present tense of indicative, then we use present subjunctive in the subordinate clause. Mis padres quieren que yo estudie idiomas (My parents want me to study languages) ➨ Imperfect subjunctive: When the verb of the main sentence expresses a concept about the subordinate clause in the past tense (preterit or imperfect) of indicative, then we use imperfect subjunctive in the subordinate clause. Mis padres querían que yo estudiara idiomas (My parents wanted me to study languages) Present indicative Present subjunctive Imperfect indicative Imperfect subjunctive
