| Dec 19, 2016 at 2:20 | comment | added | GAM PUB | I was referring to Subjunctive imperfective which is not part of my intuition as a native speaker. And now, looking back at your examples, I see that you used anterior past in the alternate forms in parenthesis. I'll revise my answer accordingly but they all sound strange... | |
| Dec 19, 2016 at 1:28 | comment | added | Catomic | Thank you. By "the other alternatives" that you have no comment on, do you mean (R1) and (R2)? (I added those labels for easy reference.) If yes, can you explain how they are in the subjunctive? (I thought they were in the indicative.) Maybe you had someone other grammatical term in mind? Maybe when a verb has a stative aspect, it is not intuitive to put it in the plus-que-parfait? | |
