E N D
You already know the present subjunctive • (Esperoquelleguespronto) • and the present perfect subjunctive (Es dudoso que hayas llegado). • There are also past forms of the subjunctive.
Use the imperfect subjunctive instead of the present subjunctive when: the entire context of the sentence is in the past.
Presentcontext: Los padres quieren que felicitemos a su hija. = The parents want us to congratulate (that we congratulate) their daughter. Past context: The parents wanted us to congratulate (that we congratulated) their daughter. Los padres querian que felicitáramos a su hija.
Let’s look at formation: You form the imperfect subjunctive by taking the 3rd person plural form of the preterite tense of the verb (ellos), • removing the “ron,” • andadding the set of endings found in the table.
Good news: The endings are the same for –AR, –ER, and –IR verbs!
