Confirmation please

Question

I have just started my journey on the subjunctive and I think I have noticed one thing. Regular AR verbs have the exact same conjugation in the past subjunctive as they do in the future. Can someone confirm if I am correct or not ?

The future subjunctive is not used ( although may be seen in old literature). Hence take adeep breath of relief.. - annierats, Oct 25, 2013

Answer 1

No, that's not quite true. I think you are a little confused (understandably), since the third person singular of the past subjunctive is "hablara" and the future is "hablará"

However, these are the full conjugations for regular AR verbs:

Past Subjunctive

• (Yo)Hablara
• (Tú)Hablaras
• (Él/Ella/Usted)Hablara
• (Nosotros)Habláramos
• (Ellos/Ustedes)Hablaran

Future:

• (Yo)Hablaré
• (Tú)Hablarás
• (Él/Ella/Usted)Hablará
• (Nosotros)Hablaremos
• (Ellos/Ustedes)Hablarán

Notice the difference in pronunciation (shown by the accent marks), and also the difference in the spellings of the first-person singular and plural forms.

Answer 2

I hope not because I just checked "hablar" and I see "hablara" and "hablare."

Answer 3

I believe they are but the subjunctive is something that shtill scares the hell out of me.
