First, let\u00b4s see if you know how to conjugate El Pret\u00e9rito Imperfecto de Subjuntivo for all persons. I will say a person (yo, t\u00fa, nosotros, etc) and a verb and I would like you to make the two correct conjunctions of the verb .For example: \u201cT\u00fa \/ hablar\u201d = \u201cHablara \/ Hablase\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00c9l \/ comprar<br \/>\nNosotros \/ salir<br \/>\nUsted \/ ver<br \/>\nT\u00fa \/ trabajar<br \/>\nEllos \/ estudiar<br \/>\nYo \/ comer<br \/>\nUstedes \/ vivir<br \/>\nVosotros \/ escribir<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Next, let\u00b4s practice some irregular verbs:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00c9l \/ ir<br \/>\nNosotros \/ pedir<br \/>\nUsted \/ oir<br \/>\nT\u00fa \/ saber<br \/>\nEllos \/ tener<br \/>\nYo \/ ser<br \/>\nUstedes \/ estar<br \/>\nVosotros \/ hacer<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Now, I will say a few Spanish sentences in present tense and I would like you to put them into the past tense using El Pret\u00e9rito Imperfecto de Subjuntivo. For example, if I say \u201cNo creo que tengas raz\u00f3n\u201d you will have to say \u201cNo cre\u00eda que tuvieras (or tuvieses) raz\u00f3n\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Quiz\u00e1s Ana est\u00e9 en su casa ahora.<br \/>\nNo pienso que este libro sea interesante.<br \/>\nBusco personas que hablen chino.<br \/>\nMi madre me dice que vaya a su casa cuando quiera.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Next, please tell me what theses Spanish sentences mean:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No estoy segura, pero posiblemente fuera la semana pasada cuando tu madre llam\u00f3 por tel\u00e9fono.<br \/>\nNo pensaba que fueras a venir.<br \/>\nBusc\u00e1bamos un coche que tuviera suficiente espacio para los cinco, pero no lo encontramos.<br \/>\nMe dijo que estar\u00eda aqu\u00ed cuando me despertara.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Finally, can you say these sentences in Spanish?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I didn\u00b4t think he was so old.<br \/>\nMaybe we were asleep.<br \/>\nWe wanted to buy something that reminded us of this trip.<br \/>\nWe didn\u00b4t think that you needed to study so much.<\/p>\n<p>Bueno, ya hemos terminado la clase pr\u00e1ctica de hoy.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you have enjoyed practicing this new Spanish grammar tense and feel clearer and more confident now with its use. As you see, we use it in the same way as El Presente de Subjuntivo, but when we are talking about the past.  I recommend you try to make sentences practicing all of the different uses of El Subjuntivo that you know so you get used to the tense and then you will find a lot easier to use it in conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Que pas\u00e9is una buena semana!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you are enjoying my weekly interactive Spanish lessons.
