¿Hay otra posibilidad?
I hope that you arrived last night.
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using the Spanish present perfect subjunctive after esperar que to express a completed action in the past"
Asked 3 years ago
Hola Stavroula
With the timeframe "anoche" (last night) we'd prefer to use the imperfect subjunctive:
Espero que llegaras anoche.
The present perfect subjunctive would be more appropriate for a timeframe like "esta mañana", which puts us still inside that timeframe when we say it:
Espero que hayas llegado esta mañana.

So, that means that in the example "I hope that you arrived last night", both preterito imperfecto and preterito perfecto are correct?
