Explanation
Pattern: si + present indicative + (present / future / command): si firmas hoy, empezamos el lunes. Never the present subjunctive right after si: *si tengas is impossible.
Si + past indicative checks real past facts: si lo dijo, fue por algo. For unreal conditions, the imperfect subjunctive takes over — next rule.
