The Past Subjunctive--Formation

First of all, let's remember how we formed the present subjunctive: basically, we started with the first person singular of the present (hablo, como, vivo, digo, conozco), took off the 'o', and then added the 'opposite endings'.

Now with the past subjunctive, we're going to go through a similar process, but now, instead of beginning with the first person singular of the present, we use the third person plural of the preterite (simple past). So now our starting point will be, for example: hablaron, comieron, vivieron, dijeron, conocieron.

But this time we are going to remove -ron, so we end up with the following stems: habla-, comie-, vivie-, dije-, conocie-).

Up to this point in Spanish we've only had to learn one set of verb endings; now there are two sets! And the funny thing is that there is no difference in meaning between one and the other! But let's also look on the positive side of things: they are the same endings whether we are dealing with -ar, -er, or -ir verbs. Here they are:

-ra       -ramos

-ras      -rais

-ra       -ran

The following is a seldom-used form of this tense that is used primarily in literature. It is rarely heard in speech. It is conjugated as above, except the -ra becomes -se. It normally is not necessary to memorize this form, but you should be able to recognize it when you see it.

-se       -semos

-ses      -seis

-se       -sen  

So the verbs cited above will look like this:

   

hablar

hablara       habláramos

hablaras      hablarais

hablara       hablaran

hablase       hablásemos

hablases      hablaseis

hablase       hablasen   

comer

comiera       comiéramos

comieras      comierais

comiera       comieran

comiese       comiésemos

comieses      comieseis

comiese       comiesen   

   

 vivir

viviera       viviéramos

vivieras      vivierais

viviera       vivieran

viviese       viviésemos

vivieses      vivieseis

viviese       viviesen   

decir

dijera       dijéramos

dijeras      dijerais

dijera       dijeran

dijese       dijésemos

dijeses      dijeseis

dijese       dijesen   

conocer

conociera    conociéramos

conocieras   conocierais

conociera    conocieran

conociese    conociésemos

conocieses   conocieseis

conociese    conociesen   

The imperfect tense of the subjunctive mood is used to express the same subjectivity as the present subjunctive, but in the past.

The imperfect subjunctive has three main uses:

|1.  |Express subjectivity in the past after the same verbs, impersonal expressions, and conjunctions as the present subjunctive |

| |(all those WEIRDOS). For the imperfect subjunctive to be needed, the verb in the main clause has to be in one of the |

| |following tenses/moods: preterite, imperfect, conditional, or pluperfect (aka past perfect, había +ado, ido). |

| |Quería que lo hicieras. |I wanted you to do it. |

| |Fue una lástima que no pudiera venir. |It was too bad that he couldn't come. |

| |Yo iría al banco para que tuviéramos dinero. |I would go to the bank so that we'd have money. |

|   | |

|2.  |Make a very polite request or suggestion (only with the verbs deber, poder, and querer). |

| |Quisiera dos libros, por favor. |I'd like two books, please. |

| |¿Pudiera Ud. ayudarnos? |Could you (possibly) help us? |

|   | |

|3.  |In conditional sentences (si clauses/ contrary to fact clauses) and with the conjunction como si. |

| |Si tuviera dinero, iría contigo. |If I had money, I would go with you. |

| |Me escucha como si fuera su profesor. |He listens to me as if I were his teacher. |

  

Use imperfect subjunctive (past subjunctive) in the same situations as present subjunctive, but when referring to past events:

Quiero que juegen esta tarde. -- I want now, thus present subjunctive.

Quería que jugaran por la tarde. -- I wanted, thus past subjunctive.

This is like correspondence of tenses in English -- after a past tense (either Preterit or Imperfect) in an independent clause, one should use a imperfect (past) subjunctive.

Also when discussing situations in the present or future that are contrary to the fact or very unlikely.

Si lloviera, no saldría.

Here are the 4 main cases of subjunctive:

|Present Subjunctive |hable |Emotions today and tomorrow about something being done today or |

| | |tomorrow. (I hope he speaks.) |

|Imperfect Subjunctive |hablara/hablase |Emotions yesterday about something done before yesterday; (I was hoping|

| | |he spoke.) |

| | |Conditional sentences referring to something unreal today or tomorrow. |

| | |(“If” clause sentences) (If I were you, I would say nothing.) |

|Present Perfect Subjunctive |haya comido |Emotions today and tomorrow about something done yesterday. (I hope he |

| | |ate yesterday.) |

|Pluperfect Subjunctive |hubiera/hubiese comido |Conditional sentences referring to something unreal yesterday. (If he |

| | |had been here, he would have eaten.) |

Note that emotion is expressed by one person, while action is being done by another:

Ella teme que el gobierno no haga nada. -- two subjects, thus subjunctive

She fears that the government doesn’t do anything.

Ella teme no hacer nada. -- one subject: no subjunctive.

She’s afraid of not doing anything.

3 types of hypothesizing. Structures in Spanish are very similar to those in English:

1. Hypothetical situations in the future and the present:

|Si + present indicative |the present indicative |

| |a future tense |

| |command |

|Si llueve,  |no salgo |

| |saldré/voy a salir/estaré saliendo |

| |no salgas! |

|If it rains (it may or may not), |I don't go out |

| |will not go out/am not going out |

| |don't go out! |

2. Hypothetical situations in the future and the present that are contrary to fact or very unlikely:

|Si + imperfect subjunctive |conditional |

|Si lloviera, |no saldría. |

|If it rained (it does not), |I would not go out. |

3. Hypothetical situations in the past that are contrary to fact:

|Si + pluperfect subjunctive |conditional perfect |

|Si hubiera llovido, |no habría salido. |

|If it had rained (it did not), |I would not have gone out. |
