This is a HELP site, which means you must DO the work first. OR ask specific questions that we can answer.

Do you know how to form the Past Subjunctive which you are required to use?

Regular verbs use the 3rd person plural of the Preterit as the stem. Here is the irregular verb "decir."
decir = dijeron = dijera, dijeras, dijera, dijéramos, dijeran

There is also another form, the -SE form = dijese, dijeses, dijese, dijésemos, dijesen

I'll be back later to see what you have done.

Oh yea I know how to form the past subjunctive... I'm just having problem to fill the blanks. None of them make sense to me. The only ones i got right were the 3rd blank(aprobara) and the 4th blank (fuera). I'm just having trouble putting the correct verb in the correct blanks.

You did not clarify that each verb could only be used once? It certainly would have helped if you had numbered the blanks. And if you are certain that your #3 and #4 were correct, I can not use fuera where I would have liked!

1. fuera
2. defendiera
3. aprobara
4. fuera (siguiera)
5. juzgaran
6. estuvieran
7. supieran
8. se dedicaran

This IS confusing!
