4. The Preterite Forms With J Spellings, Part II 1. Remember that the preterite is used mainly to talk about completed actions in the past. 2. Note that many of the verbs with J spellings in the preterite end in -cir, and some of those are derived from the verb decir. decir dije bendecir bendije 3. Note that the third person plural form (ellos/ellas, Uds.) is not spelled with an i after the j. traer trajeron conducir bendijeron

5. The Imperfect Subjunctive Forms With J Spellings 1. The imperfect subjunctive form is derived from the third person plural (ellos/ellas, Uds.) conjugation of the preterite tense. decir dijeron 2. Drop the -ron ending dijeron dije- 3. Add the correct ending from one of the set of the imperfect subjunctive endings (-ra or -se). See the next two slides. dije- dijera, dijeras, . . . / dijese, dijeses, . . .

6. The Imperfect Subjunctive: -RA Endings There are two sets of endings in the imperfect subjunctive: -ra and -se. The -ra endings are the more common endings in speech. Note that the endings are the same for -ar, -er, and -ir verbs. -ar Verbs -ra -ras -ra -ramos -rais -ran -er Verbs -ra -ras -ra -ramos -rais -ran -ir Verbs -ra -ras -ra -ramos -rais -ran yo t l/ella, Ud. nosotros/as vosotros/as ellos/ellas, Uds.
