Have a look at this and type in tener as a verb to conjugate. You are quite corect, it is just that the terminology in Spanish is confusing, because the imperfect is still called the preterite imperfect, so the imperfect subjunctive is called the preterite imperfect subjunctive, or preterite subjunctive for short. Daft.

You are welcome. That website I find incredibly useful for conjugations, and they even give the future subjunctive, which hardly anyone is aware of, or indeed needs to know about.

Future subjunctive? My mind is blown and I am afraid.

Gracias (Ojalá que me entendáis el español.)
Yes it's exactly a conjugation in verb pass.
For example you could conjugate these examples.
Please I'm not a teacher then I try to give you a examples of the you want to know about it.

Si tubiese un amigo podria ser mas feliz.
If I had a friend could be more happy.

Si tuviese mas dinero podria comprar un carro.
If I had more money maybe I could to buy a new car.

Si tuviese una madre.
If I had a mother.

I hope that those examples can help you or they can be useful for you.

Remember, the Spanish conditional translates to "would" not "could" in English. They both mean very different things.

"Si yo tuviera una pierna, yo correría-- If I had a leg, I WOULD run.

I agree with Rusty (and my myself ), but then again, the usage of "tuviese" may be also seen or heard in other Latin American areas, such as Perú or Argentina. (I have not done a thorough search, but just as a comment.)

En un comentario de un blog de Perú se puede encontrar:
si yo tuviese mi propia casa me adoptaría a todos los animales
En un foro del Cono Sur:
... si yo tuviese pruebas claras no dudaría en que todo el mundo pudiese verlas.

Yes, "tuviese" is more a literary usage, at least to my experience in
LatinoAmérica...

Another link that talks about "un verbo parásito". After years and years of studying Spanish grammar, I had never seen "verbo parásito" until I came into this forum. Is "parasite verb" common in English grammar? (I'm able to assure you that it's not a grammarian term in Spanish at all).
