Answer 1

The two obsolete tenses of the subjunctive are the Future Subjunctive and the Future Perfect Subjunctive.

For ser: "Fuere", "Hubiere sido"

That's all I'm going to answer though, because like Qfreed said:

Sounds an awful lot like homework questions which we are not supposted to answer.

Well, whisper in my ear which indicative tense isn't used, because I don't know. - 0074b507, Apr 26, 2011

If I had to guess it would be future perfect. - 0074b507, Apr 26, 2011

Nope. - lorenzo9, Apr 26, 2011

Answer 4

Sounds an awful lot like homework questions which we are not supposted to answer.

To start you off, however, use the conjugation tool to conjugate a verb and see which tenses are listed.

Don't count the past tense, subjunctive twice just because it has two forms (ra, se)

This isn't what is being asked, but my "beef" with our conjugation tool is that it doesn't list the progressive tenses & the negative imperatives. - Deanski, Apr 26, 2011

The negative imperatives should definitely be included. - 0074b507, Apr 26, 2011

Answer 5

Some people consider the progressive tenses to be indicative tenses as well.
