Question about verbs. I've got a verb book but unfortunately it's entirely in Español, and does not give examples of conjugated verbs in use. I read the subjunctive thread but am still confused! I also don't know what "potencial simple" means. Can you give me an example of the potencial simple, presente de subjunctivo and imperfecto de subjunctivo (plus their compound tenses) in the verb HABLAR, please? Also, why does the imperfecto de subjunctivo have two sets of tenses? Muchas gracias

Hablaría contigo si tuviera un micrófono (conditional, present or future) Habría hablado contigo ayer si hubiera tenido un micrófono (More unreal because I had not a micro yesterday). ¿Te gusta que yo hable? (present or future) ¿Te gusta que yo haya hablado ayer? (past) Si te hablara, sería con un micrófono (present or future) Si te hubiera hablado ayer, habría sido con un micrófono. (past, more unreal)

The "potencial simple" is simply the "conditional". Hablar: Conditional: hablaría, hablarías, hablaría, hablaríamos, hablaríais, hablarían Present subjunctive: hable, hables, hable, hablemos, habléis, hablan Imperfect subjunctive : hablara, hablaras, hablara, habláramos, hablarais, hablaran (or) hablase, hablases, hablase, hablásemos, hablaseis, hablasen I don't know why there are two forms of the Imperfect subjunctive. There just are! www.wordreference.com will help you out with conjugations, as will this one: http://www.hello-world.com/Spanish/verbs/hablar/A.php
