Catalan translation:Sang, could sing, etc. segons el context
Explanation:
A vegades, el subjuntiu correspon al simple past (if I were you). En altres casos, la incertesa d'aquest mode verbal s'expressa amb construccions: em va dir que cantés - he told me to sing; si cantés millor - if he could sing better
