How many subjunctive tense are there anyway?

Question

I just looked at the conjugating machine (brilliant invention) and I saw a whole load of subjunctives, seven to be precises

---

1. present perfect
2. past perfect
3. future perfect
4. present
5. future
6. imperfect 1
7. imperfect 2

---

So do you use them in the same context as you would the present, I mean after "que" after certain verbs etc. or do they differ totally from the present subjunctive? When I read spanish I do see the imperfect 2 alot, like n novels and that.

Answer 1

There are 6 tenses in the subjunctive mood, but only 4 are used nowadays (the futures are as obsolete as "thou hast" in English)

LOL nice coment hahah thou hast. thanks for clearing that up. - dewclaw, Oct 8, 2010
