1. When to Use?
1) Express subjectivity in the past after the same verbs, impersonal expressions, and conjunctions as the present subjunctive.
*For the imperfect subjunctive to be needed, the verb in the main clause has to be in one of the following tenses/moods: preterite, imperfect, conditional, or pluperfect.
Quería que lo hicieras.
I wanted you to do it.
Fue una lástima que no pudiera venir.
It was too bad that he couldn't come.
Yo iría al banco para que tuviéramos dinero.
I would go to the bank so that we'd have money.
2. Make a very polite request or suggestion (only with the verbs deber, poder, and querer).
Quisiera dos libros, por favor.
I'd like two books, please.
¿Pudiera Ud. ayudarnos?
Could you (possibly) help us?
