Whereas the present subjunctive is used to express opinion, possibility, and feelings such as fear, doubt, hope, desire, etc., about something in the present or the future, the imperfect subjunctive can be used similarly, but when the hope, desire, feeling, etc. itself is in the past. To conjugate the verb, the stem comes from the third-person plural form of the preterite rather than the infinitive, that is, the preterite that follows โellosโ or โellasโ minus โ-ronโ. In this case, the stem is "arriesga-", and the suffix that should be used is "-ra", or the alternative suffix "-se". Thus, the verb is conjugated as "arriesgara" or "arriesgase". The the third person plural of the preterite is "arriesgaron", and the stem from that is "arriesga-", then we add one of two sets of endings. yo -ra -se tรบ -ras -ses รฉl/ella/usted -ra -se nosotros/-as -ramos -semos vosotros/-as -rais -seis ellos/ellas/ustedes -ran -senBoth endings are equally acceptable although the first group is more widely used. All verbs follow these conjugation rules and there are no irregular verbs.
