1. tengan (present subjunctive because 1) the verb in the main clause is the future tense, and 2) we don't know if the perfect shoes exist)

2. comprara (imperfect subjunctive because 1) subjunctive always follows certain verbs, like prohibir, and 2) because the main verb is in the past tense)

3. regresara (imperfect subjunctive because 1) subjunctive always follows "antes de que" and 2) imperfect because the main clause is in the past tense)

4. escogieran (imperfect subjunctive because 1) the verb in the main clause is the conditional and 2) we don't know if they will do what she likes)

5. dijeron (preterite indicative because it is a single, completed past action and because the verb in the dependent clause is in the preterite)

6. llegó (preterite indicative because she did arrive already)

7. tenga (present subjunctive because it's the future and we don't know if it will happen)

P.S. "en cuanto" means "as soon as"...it is followed by the subjunctive only when referring to the future; otherwise, it is followed by the indicative.

you utilize the (present day) indicative one concern and the action is interior the present. Ex. Yo voy a clase. i bypass/am going to type. Mi hermano come mucho. My brother eats/is ingesting plenty. Nosotros trabajamos juntos. We artwork/are working mutually. you utilize the subjunctive while there are 2 matters and there is uncertainty approximately no remember if the action will happen or no longer. it rather is generally blended with using the indicative and exceedingly much consistently used with the conjunction "que". Ex. Mi maestra (concern a million) quiere (indicative) que yo (concern 2) vaya (subjunctive) a clase. My instructor needs me to bypass to type. (My instructor needs that i bypass to type. Yo (concern a million) espero (indicative) que mi hermano coma (subjunctive) mucho. i'm hoping that my brother eats plenty. El jefe (concern a million) nos recomienda (indicative) que nosotros trabajemos (subjunctive) juntos. The boss recommends that we artwork mutually. To get the conjugations for the subjunctive is extremely user-friendly; first you conjugate the verb interior the "yo" sort and then upload on the "opposite endings". So for -ar verbs the choice endings could be: yo - e tu - es el/ella/ud - e nosotros - emos ellos/ellas/uds - en and for -ir/-er verbs: yo - a tu - as el/ella/ud - a nosotros - amos ellos/ellas/uds - an there are basically some astonishing interior the subjunctive: dar, estar, ir, saber, ser, and haber Dar yo de, tu des, el/ella/ud. de, nosotros demos, ellos/ellas/united statesden Estar yo este, tu estes, el/ella/ud. este, nosotros estemos, ellos/ellas/united statesesten Ir yo vaya, tu vayas, el/ella/ud. vaya, nosotros vayamos, ellos/ellas/uds. vayan Saber yo sepa, tu sepas, el/ella/ud. sepa, nosotros sepamos, ellos/ellas/uds. sepan Ser yo sea, tu seas, el/ella/ud. sea, nosotros seamos, ellos/ellas/uds. sean Haber yo haya, tu hayas, el/ella/ud. haya, nosotros hayamos, ellos/ellas/uds. hayan The ifinitive isn't a annoying in any respect, yet basically an fact of an action generally used with different "assisting verbs". Infinitives consistently lead to ar, er or ir. Ex. Quiero "hablar" Tengo que "estudiar" Puedo "correr Pienso "viajar" Espero "ganar"
