Answer 1

thank you Mariana for your answer! I'll have a look anyway I'm very confused about when using Imperfecto del Subjuntivo. I know I can use it when the sentence is at the past, but in this case wouldn't be better to use the imperfecto del indicativo?

No creia que tu PUDIERAS terminar la tarea

why el indicativo in the first sentence and the subjuntivo in the second ones?

I'm so confused!!!

The first states a fact (indicative), the second is hypothetical, in doubt (subjunctive). - pesta, Sep 19, 2011

Answer 2

Hi and welcome to the forum.

There are lessons here on the Subjunctive under the "More" tab (click on Reference).

Do you have a question about a specific phrase, sentence, passage?
