Cruz, Ailén – Hispania, 2022

Fernández-Sánchez, Javier; García-Pardo, Alfredo – Hispania, 2023

Spanish generally shows a Sequence of Tense (SOT) phenomenon in subjunctive clauses: the tense of the embedded clause (present or past) must agree with the tense of the matrix clause.

Kanwit, Matthew; Elias, Vanessa; Clay, Rebecca – Foreign Language Annals, 2018

Spanish exhibits variation between the intensifiers "muy" [very] and "bien" [very] across numerous…
