In the Imperfect Subjunctive Quiz:

Deseabais que (volver) los días de suerte.

my answer: volvierais

SpD! answer: volvieran

If I'm mistaken, how do I know when to change the subject from vosotros to Uds. as was done here?

Hello. You're actually talking about ellos (los días de suerte), a third person., not to vosotros. Hence the answer is volvieran and no other.

"Vosotros" and "Ustedes" forms don´t work in this sentence. You need ellos, which refers to días and that makes volvieran the correct answer.

Deseabais que volvieran (ellos) los días de suerte.
