Elisa y Gabriella no irán a la fiesta hasta que _TENGAN_ (tener) los zapatos perfectos. The present subjuntive it is aplyied in this sentence because:
1.-vervs in present tense ends always in this way:
vervs in infinitive"time"always ends and only with AR , ER & IR
ex: GANAR(to win) PERDER(to loose) & VIVIR(to live)
2.-the first person YO( i, me ) always ends with "O"
ex: yo ganO - yo pierdO - yo vivO( i win - i loss - i live) "This is a rule for any verv played with the first person."
3.-Second and tirth persons TU,& EL-ELLA(you and he-she)
playing with a verv ending with "AR" always ends in this way:
tu ganAS - el ganA- ella ganA( you win- he wins - she wins)
4.-Second and third persons TU & EL- ELLA(you & he - she)
Playing with a verv ending with "ER " or "IR" always end in this way:
tu pierdES -el pierdE - ella pierdE (you loss - he losses - she losses) ----with ER INFINITIVE VERV-----
tu vivES - el vivE - ella vivE(you live - he lives - she lives) ----with IR INFINITIVE VERV ------
5.-fourth person NOSOTROS(we) playing a verv ending with "AR" always....: nosotros ganAMOS( we win)
with "ER" always....:nosotros perdEMOS(we loss)
with "IR" always..: nosotros vivIMOS( we live)
6.-fifth person USTEDES(YOUR)and sixth person ELLOS-ELLAS(THEY)note:ellos is male, ellas is female
playing a verv ending with "AR" always ends in this way:
ustedes ganAN & ellos ganAN - ellas ganAN( your win & they wins)
7.-fifth and sixth persons USTEDES(YOUR) & ELLOS-ELLAS(THEY) playing a verv ending with "ER" & "IR" always..:
ustedes pierdEN & ellos pierdEN - ellas pierdEN( your loss & they losses) WITH ER INFINITIVE VERV
ustedes vivEN & ellos vivEN - ellas vivEN( your live & they lives)
WITH IR INFINITIVE VERV.

....as you can see,the sentence says " Elisa y Gabriela"whom are THEY "no irán a la fiesta" in this part of the sentence the verv involved it is in future tense WILL NOT GO or THEY ARE NOT GOING TO GO --- TO THE PARTTY wich it is the direct object of the sentence and you can proof it by asking WHO ARE NOT GOING TO THE PARTTY? answer: ELISA Y GABRIELA
note: the part of the sentence that relate the subject with the part of the predicate asking WHO IS playing with the verv(LIKE A LINKING VERV BY EXAMPLE)then we find this part "HASTA QUE --- TENGAN ---- LAS ZAPATOS PERFECTOS"
(untill they ---have-----the perfect shoes).
Then you can see that TENGAN from the verv "to have" it is ending with "AN" , which not engage with the forms of the present tense listed above, which are of the indicative mood, because the subjunctive mood does not expresses a fact, but a condition contrary to fact. If i say:"TENGO LOS ZAPATOS PERFECTOS" we are talking about playing the verv"TO HAVE"
WITH THE INDICATIVE FORM OF THE PRESENT TENSE ,but if i say: "SI TUVIERA LOS ZAPATOS............. or..... HASTA QUE TENGA LOS ZAPATOS......."( if i have the ...... shoes......OR.......
until i have the.......shoes)we are playing the verv :TO HAVE" WITH THE SUBJUNCTIVE FORM OF THE PRESENT TENSE.
for the past tense the same vervs ends, listed in the same order as above
2.- yo ganE, yo perdI, yo vivI(i won, i lost, i lived)
3.-tu ganASTE,el ganO, ella ganO(you won, she wons,el wons)
4.-tu perdISTE, el perdIO, ella perdIO(you lost, el lostten, she lostten)
tu vivISTE,el vivIO, ella vivIO(you lived, el lieves, she lieves)
5.-nosotros ganAMOS( WE WON)
nosotros perdIMOS( WE LOST)
nosotros vivIMOS(WE LIVED) ,
perhaps is more normal to use the aux, verv "DID"
6.-ustedes ganARON, ellos ganARON, ellas ganARON
YOU WON, THEY WONS)or you did win, they did win
7.-ustedes perdIERON, ellos perdIERON, ellas perdIERON
YOU LOST , THEY LOSSEN
nosotros vivIMOS, ellos vivIERON, ellas vivIERON
WE LIVED , THEY LIEVES
and the SUBJUNCTIVE forms are:
(VERVS WIN, LOSS,LIVE & HAVE)
for "me" ganASE, perdIESE, vivIESE ,hubIESE (or using the ending IERES, IERE it isthe same. example: hubIERE)
for you andhe/she: ganASES,ganASE-perdIESES,perdIESE-vivIESES,vivIESE- hubIESES, hubIESE (or using IERES, IERE)
for we: the endings are ASEMOS, IESEMOS, IESEMOS, IESEMOS
or AREMOS, IEREMOS, IEREMOS,IEREMOS
for your: ASEN,IESEN, IESEN, IESEN or AREN, IEREN, IEREN, IEREN.
and for they: AREN, IEREN,IEREN, IEREN, or ASEN, IESEN, IESEN ,IESEN.
you can see now , the other sentences vervs COMPRAR(TO BUY), REGRESAR( TO COME BACK)ESCOGER(TO CHOICE OR TO SELECT), DECIR(TO SAY) , LLEGAR(TO ARRIVE)
and the last verv in the last sentence means to have but as an obligation or nesecity (Elsa will buy a house when she must to do it)
here you answers:
1.- PRESENT SUBJUNCTIVE -- TENGAN
2.-PRESENTE SUBJUNCTIVE -- COMPRARA
3.-SUBJUNCTIVE (PAST TENSE)INPERFECT-- REGRESASE
4.-INDICATIVE--ESCOJAN
5.-PRETERITE(PAST TENSE) --DIJERON
6.-PRETERITE -- LLEGÓ
7.-PRESENT SUBJUNCTIVE --DEBA or TENGA QUE

note if the verv in # 2 was future then it must be wrote : COMPRARÁ, and if in past : COMPRÉ
You have to excuse me if there are some errors in my writing in english, but i can tell you that you will not find any one in my spanish writing.
that is all. i hope this could help you . adios.
