If only: ojalá tuviera

Ojalá with the present subjunctive is a real hope: ojalá venga (I hope he comes). With the imperfect subjunctive it’s a wish that is unlikely or impossible: ojalá tuviera más tiempo (if only I had more time), ojalá estuvieras aquí.

  • Ojalá tuviera más tiempo.If only I had more time.
  • Ojalá venga.I hope he comes.

I'd like you to: me gustaría que vinieras

After a conditional (me gustaría, preferiría, sería mejor), the subjunctive moves into the imperfect: me gustaría que vinieras (I’d like you to come), sería mejor que te quedaras, preferiría que no se lo dijeras a nadie.

  • Sería mejor que te quedaras.It would be better if you stayed.
  • Aprovecha la oportunidad.Make the most of the opportunity.
