The imperfects- and future subjunctives of "dar"

I've been practicing conjugations of verbs for now a while, and I'm now able to conjugate regular verbs in both indicative and subjunctive, but when I was working with the irregular verb, dar, I noticed a difference in how websites represent the first person plural in imperfect (ra), imperfect (se) and future of the subjunctive. It seems like some websites represent it with an accent-marker, and others don't.

If we look at Wiktionary, they're represented:
  • dieramos
  • diesemos
  • dieremos
But if we look at WebWorkbooks, and this site, Tomísimo, they're represented:
  • diéramos
  • diésemos
  • diéremos
The latter representation is what I *think* is right, because it fits the representation of most other verbs, but I got confused, because Wiktionary, a hugh website, represents them in a different way.

Could someone help me out?

Here's another conjugator site (my favorite ). I like the little bit I've seen of the WebWorkbooks site you gave a link to.

Wonderful link, thank you a lot. Nice, simple, and easy to use.

+rep given.

Edit: Oh, I would have given you some positive reputation, but it said I wasn't able to do so.

It's the thought that counts!

You probably need to spread the reputation points around a bit before you can give me some. I have to do that.

Yes, exactly, that was what it said.
