Not every form is used. Used only in the third person (atañe, atañen, atañía), and formal. The i drops after ñ, so the past is atañó and the gerund atañendo. Forms that are not used are shown as "-".
The other perfect tenses (haber + past participle) and the past subjunctive
The imperfect subjunctive has two forms: -ra (more common in speech) and -se (more formal; still heard in speech in Spain, mainly written in Latin America). Both are equally correct and interchangeable.
