Conditional statements that contain hypothetical or unlikely assumptions use the imperfect subjunctive. In this example. it is considered hypothetical or unlikely especially that the first clause is in the conditional tense. 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 "recluta-", and the suffix that should be used is "-ran", or the alternative suffix "-sen". Thus, the verb is conjugated as "reclutaran" or "reclutasen". The the third person plural of the preterite is "reclutaron", and the stem from that is "recluta-", 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.
