Question 1

Finding the Imperfect Subjunctive Stem

Answer 1

ellas) preterite form of the verb you’re using. Why? Instead of using the infinitive for a stem, the imperfect subjunctive uses the third person plural of the preterite (minus the -ron). Whatever the third person preterite from of a verb is, whether regular or irregular, becomes the base for the imperfect subjunctive stem.

ver –> vieron –> vie-
