What is the imperfect subjunctive?
The imperfect subjunctive mood expresses past action.
If the main clause begins in the past, it causes a past tense subjunctive form in the dependent clause.
How do you form the imperfect subjunctive?
To form the imperfect subjunctive for all verbs, first drop the ending of the third-person singular of the preterite. The stem that remains is the stem of the imperfect subjunctive in all forms, in all cases. Then, add the imperfect subjunctive endings.
