A Case for Past or Present Subjunctive?
People,
I was listening to a soap opera on TVE and a little boy said that he was sad because he wanted to attend a certain funeral, but the ladies of the house told him "... dijeron que me quede". Why is the present being mixed with the past? I was thinking "dijeron que me quedara". Could somebody orient me, please? Silopanna/Dean
