Why it's built this way

The notes match the numbers above.

    Me molestó que: the main verb is in the past (preterite), so the subjunctive moves to the past too: avisara. Sequence of tenses in the subjunctive →
  2. 2
    avisara: imperfect subjunctive (-ra); avisase means the same. Note the single s in the -se form. Imperfect subjunctive: forms and uses →
  3. 3
    avisar de + noun = to let someone know about something. De + el contracts to del.
