Have you ever been accused or praised for doing something in the past that you had not actually done? Imagine you want to deny it happened. In Spanish, you would need to use the subjunctive, because you're not talking about a real event, but about people's assumptions. But those assumptions refer to something that happened (or did not) in the past, so you also need to use the imperfect! Take a look at this lesson about McDonald's achievements in the past (and falsely attributed merits) and learn how to use the imperfect subjunctive in Spanish, and how it is different from the present subjunctive. Don't forget to show this video to your friends so you can practice together by discussing it.
