Imperfect Subjunctive
The imperfect subjunctive is formed by taking the third person plural of the preterite minus -on.
To this stem you add the following endings: -a, -as, -a, -amos, -ais, -an.
One of the most common uses of the imperfect subjunctive is in a si clause. In such a clause it has a hypothetical meaning.
Another common use of the past subjunctive is in the same situations that you would use the present subjunctive: persuasion, doubt, or value judgement. If the verb in the main clause is in the past, the subordinate clause will use the past subjunctive.
