Q

How do you form the imperfect subjunctive?

A

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.
