The Past Subjunctve And The Conditional Together


One common use of the Past Subjunctive is to put it with the Conditional. The part of the statement that has the ify word is the part of  the sentence  that gets the  Past Subjunctive. For many, anything that has to do with the Subjunctive is ify.

When the Past Subjunctive is combined with the Conditional tense, you create a power house that can help you weasel out of anything.

For example:
 weasel out of social conflicts


I would kiss you if you had more hair


....Weasel out of  overtime hours
I would work if  I wasn't sick







...weasel out of picking up the check
If  I made more money, I would pay for the  meal.

The Spanish Past Subjunctive



To form the Spanish Past Subjunctive


First you find the past plural form of the 3rd person (the ustedes verb).  Remove the ron ending and add  one of the following endings (yo/ra, tu/ras, usted/ra, nosotros/ramos, or ustedes/ran) 

...or to put it more simply:

Put the ustedes verb in the  past.

putting ustedes in the past

Get rid of  RON.
