Today we are going to learn how to talk about probability in the past in Spanish. As you will see, some of the Spanish probability expressions are followed by a verb in indicativo, some are followed by a verb in subjuntivo and others by either option.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Indicativo<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 A lo mejor + indicativo: Maybe<br \/>\nA lo mejor lleg\u00f3 anoche: Maybe he arrived last night<br \/>\nA lo mejor estaba en el bar: Maybe he was in the pub<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Igual + indicativo: Maybe<br \/>\nIgual lleg\u00f3 anoche: Maybe he arrived last night<br \/>\nIgual estaba en el bar: Maybe he was in the pub<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Lo mismo + indicativo: Maybe<br \/>\nLo mismo lleg\u00f3 anoche: Maybe he arrived last night<br \/>\nLo mismo estaba en el bar: Maybe he was in the pub<\/p>\n<p><strong>Subjuntivo:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Puede que + subjuntivo: It could be that<br \/>\nPuede que llegara\/llegase anoche: It could be that he arrived last night<br \/>\nPuede que estuviera\/estuviese en el bar: It could be that he was in the pub<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Puede ser que + subjuntivo: It could be that<br \/>\nPuede ser que llegara\/llegase anoche: It could be that he arrived last night<br \/>\nPuede ser que estuviera\/estuviese en el bar: It could be that he was in the pub<\/p>\n<p><strong>Indicativo\/Subjuntivo:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some expressions can be used with indicativo or with subjuntivo. We use the indicativo to show slightly more probability and subjuntivo to show slightly less probability.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Tal vez + indicativo o subjuntivo: Maybe<br \/>\nTal vez lleg\u00f3 anoche: Maybe he arrived last night<br \/>\nTal vez llegara\/llegase anoche: Maybe he arrived last night<br \/>\nTal vez estaba en el bar: Maybe he was in the pub<br \/>\nTal vez estuviera\/estuviese en el bar: Maybe he was in the pub<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Quiz\u00e1s + indicativo o subjuntivo: Maybe<br \/>\nQuiz\u00e1s lleg\u00f3 anoche: Maybe he arrived last night<br \/>\nQuiz\u00e1s llegara\/llegase anoche: Maybe he arrived last night<br \/>\nQuiz\u00e1s estaba en el bar: Maybe he was in the pub<br \/>\nQuiz\u00e1s estuviera\/estuviese en el bar: Maybe he was in the pub<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Seguramente + indicativo o subjuntivo: Possibly<br \/>\nSeguramente lleg\u00f3 anoche: Possibly he arrived last night<br \/>\nSeguramente llegara\/llegase anoche: Possibly he arrived last night<br \/>\nSeguramente estaba en el bar: Possibly he was in the pub<br \/>\nSeguramente estuviera\/estuviese en el bar: Possibly he was in the pub<\/p>\n<p>At this level we have to practice a lot with the Spanish subjuntivo and the Spanish indicativo. We have already seen quite a few other video lessons in this course on the topic of the Spanish subjuntivo and indicativo and I definitely recommend that you go back and review those lessons as many times as is necessary. Knowing when and how to use the Spanish subjunctivo or indicativo in any given moment takes some skill. It is not something that you will master overnight so be patient and study little and often. Try not to get frustrated when you encounter a new structure or expression and be proud of the great level you have already achieved.<\/p>\n<p>Que teng\u00e1is un buen d\u00eda y nos vemos pronto con otra clase de espa\u00f1ol.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Hasta luego!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hola. \u00bfQu\u00e9 tal?
