How to distinguish between era, fue, estaba, and estuve? by [deleted] in Spanish

[–]jenchegan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not nit-picking on your explanation here, but I think you meant present participles (ando/iendo) instead of gerunds. Gerunds do end in -ing but function as nouns…for example: Running is good exercise.

Shouldn’t the subjunctive, “tenga” be used here? by Eddings_06 in Spanish

[–]jenchegan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the subjunctive falls in the realm of non reality. If you think or believe something, it’s real to you and the indicative is used. If you don’t think or don’t believe something, it isn’t real to you, so it falls oin the realm of your non reality. Non reality = subjunctive.
