Tener Conjugation in Spanish, Translation, Examples
tener subjunctive tense
tener subjunctive tense - win
Using "de + [infintive]" as part of conditionals, and mixed conditionals
Ran into the claim that the imperfect subjunctive -ra form can sometimes be used like the indicative such that A & B are correct and equivalent, though usage like A is diminishing over time:
A: Ese es el caballo por el cual hubiera vendido mi casa de tener yo una.
B: Ese es el caballo por el cual habría vendido mi casa, de tener yo una.
Translated to English, this would be "This is the horse for which I would have sold my house if I had one." I hadn't seen this use of "de + [infinitive]" before and really couldn't understand A until I ran it through deepl to get a translation. Talking to a spanish native friend, he said it would be correct and have the same meaning using "si" as in C:
C: Este es el caballo por el que habría vendido mi casa si tuviera una.
Given C, This seems to be one of those mixed conditionals that are tricky because the speaker describes something they would have done in the past given something that isn't true in the present (and by inference wasn't true in the past). Though "if I had one" and "si tuviera una" have a distant nature that could express past time in other contexts, in this context I think they are expressing unlikelihood with the distant tense. But maybe D, which is not a mixed conditional, would also be a possible paraphrase of B? D is not a mixed conditional since both the if and then clauses are in the past (hubiera tenido is double distant- once for unlikeliness, once for past), and maybe thats ok given "de tener" as an infinitive doesn't have much temporal information. But I suspect D does not have the same meaning, and would actually be the same as E. I made up D and E though, so I have a bit of uncertainty which would be correct and which would be equivalent to A and B.
D: Este es el caballo por el que habría vendido mi casa si hubiera tenido una.
E: Este es el caballo por el que habría vendido mi casa de haber tenido una.
So I suspect D and E could be correct Spanish but have a slightly different meaning than A&B, But anyhow, going back to C, which transforms B to use "si" instead of "de", I wonder if I can do something similar to A and produce F? Is F correct and have the same meaning as A and B?
F: Ese es el caballo por el cual hubiera vendido mi casa si tuviera una.
I usually dislike irregular verbs but became fascinated with them after I finished the Michel Thomas Foundation course (he refers to it as the go-go verbs). Verbs with a 'go' ending in the 'yo' present tense. I nerded out and this is what I found out:
poner: yo pongo, tú pones...
tener: yo tengo, tú tienes...
caer: yo caigo, tú caes...
traer: yo traigo, tú traes...
oír: yo oigo, tú oyes...
venir: yo vengo , tú vienes...
hacer: yo hago, tú haces...
salir: yo salgo, tú sales...
valer: yo valgo, tú vales...
These verbs fall into three categories:
hacer: this verb (and similar ones like rehacer) has its own irregularities.
asir, oír, poner, salir, tener, valer, venir: these verbs (and related ones) simply add a g, e.g. "poner -> pono -> pongo"
caer, traer: these verbs (and related ones) simply add ig: "caer -> cao -> caigo"
There are around 80 verbs like this in Spanish, but they are all derived from the ones listed above All the verbs with a 'nir' or 'ner' ending (and salir) conjugate with '-dré' and '-dría' in the future and conditional, respectively. The rest of them are regular in the Future and Conditional except 'hacer' and 'decir'.
Tengo, tendré, tendría
Pongo, pondré, pondría
Vengo, vendré, vendría
Salgo, Saldré, Saldría
(Hacer and decir)
hago, haré, haría
digo, diré, diría
The rest are regular (iirc) All these verbs retain the 'g' in the subjunctive but for ALL forms. first person,2nd person and thirdperson. You just have to 'switch tracks' (A phrase Michel uses when going into the subjunctive)
yo haga, tu hagas, ustedes hagan
yo pongas, tu pongas, ustedes pongan
I was very excited and wrote this in a few minutes but please let me know what I got wrong and what elso there is to these unique group of verbs
Need help understanding the imperfect subjunctive tense
I'm currently trying to get my head around the subjunctive tense but I'm stuck on when to use the imperfect. For example on this page there is both 'imperfect' and 'imperfect 2', yet the description states the exact same thing. For example for 'tener'; 'tuviera' and 'tuviese' apparently both mean I had. Is there a difference between these?

If you are struggling with anything I didn’t cover, speak up and I’ll add it in! I’ve never made anything this popular before, and I really want it to be the best it can be and help as many people as possible. Also, while I’m still sort of an “advanced beginner” at this language, I’m more than happy to answer questions or research answers I don’t know. And always feel free to share it with your friends, family, teachers, students, strangers on the bus, anyone! The more people who see it, the more feedback I get, and the better it becomes.
