Practice The Imperfect Subjunctive Tense
The imperfect subjunctive functions similarly to the perfect subjunctive, but it pertains to events in the past rather than the present. It offers two interchangeable forms, namely "ra" and "se," with the "ra" form being the more prevalent choice, particularly in certain regions of Latin America. Here you will be able to practice both forms. What are you waiting for to start!? Which ending is easier for you to pronounce?
