Just a terminology question, but why is this called "El Pretérito Perfecto Subjuntivo" instead of "El Presente Perfecto Subjuntivo"? I thought pretérito meant past tense? (It seems to mean past tense in the context of Pretérito Indefinido and Pretérito Imperfecto.) 

Hi, thanks for all your answers.

What does Aún así (both accented) mean in Concierto de Año Nuevo? Thanks,

Shirley. 

I have read the answer given to Ralph.  At the very least this is a VERY bad example to give in a lesson.  The answer demonstrates that either tense could be used depending on the message the writer wishes to convey. 

Hola,

¡Nunca había oído la palabra 'velada' hasta ahora! Nunca sabía que había otra palabra para 'la tarde' o 'la noche'. ¿Hay una diferencia entre velada y tarde? ¿Podemos usar las dos?

Gracias

I would translate quería as I wanted or was wanting.  Thank you.

"Hurry, Run!"  Can I interpret "Hurry" as Command, too? If so, none of the options is appropriate.
