This is the fourth exercise on the Spanish past subjunctive. It parallels Exercise 4 of the Spanish present subjunctive, so that you can continue applying the equation set out in Pasado del Subjuntivo – Lección 1. By now you should know many of the Spanish keywords and understand the structure, so it’s a matter of printing the worksheet and filling it out. You should repeat the exercise until you can do it without referring to the answers at the end.

Ejemplo:
El viejo puso la mesa para recibir a su amigo.
The old man set the table to receive his friend.
Neither English nor Spanish speakers think of simple phrases like “to set the table” as idiomatic. They have used such phrases for so long that they have taken on internal meaning. In reality, neither “setting” nor “putting” the table makes much literal sense. That’s why it’s better to learn the Spanish phrase and then repeat it until it takes on its own internal meaning for you.
