Questions & Answers about Me encantaría que organizáramos una rifa.
Why do we use the past subjunctive organizáramos here instead of the present subjunctive?
The main verb encantaría is in the conditional tense. When a verb that triggers the subjunctive, like one expressing a wish or emotion, is in the conditional tense, the verb in the following que clause must be in the imperfect (past) subjunctive.
Why is there an accent mark on the second 'a' in organizáramos?
In the imperfect subjunctive, the nosotros (we) form always gets an accent mark on the vowel right before the -ramos ending to keep the spoken stress on the correct syllable. For organizar, this gives us organizáramos.
Why do we use me instead of yo before encantaría?
The verb encantar works just like gustar. The actual subject of the sentence isn't you, but rather the whole idea of organizing a raffle. Literally, this sentence translates to 'That we organize a raffle would enchant me.' That is why we use the indirect object pronoun me.
Could I say organizásemos instead of organizáramos?
