The Present Subjunctive

The subjunctive
  • Up to now you have been using verbs in the
    indicative mood, which is used to talk about
    facts or actual events.

The subjunctive
  • Estudio español para mi viaje a Perú.

4
The subjunctive
  • Spanish has another way of using verbs called the
    subjunctive mood.

5
The subjunctive
  • We use it to say what one person does or doesnt
    want, tell, suggest, or recommend someone else to
    do.

6
The subjunctive
  • A sentence that includes the subjunctive form has
    two parts connected by the word que.
  • For example

7
The subjunctive
  • Quiero que tú respires lentamente.
  • I want you to breathe slowly.

The subjunctive

  • I suggest that you drink water before running.

The subjunctive
  • El entrenador exige que los atletas estiren los
    músculos.
  • The trainer demands that the athletes stretch
    their muscles.

10
The subjunctive
  • You can also suggest more general or impersonal
    ideas using expressions such as es necesarioes
    buenoand es importante, followed by que and a
    form of the present subjunctive.

11
The subjunctive
  • Es necesario que hagas ejercicio.
  • Its necessary that you do exercise.
  • Es importante que los jóvenes coman bien.
  • Its important that the young people eat well.

12
The subjunctive
  • Note that the subjunctive sentences have two
    parts, each with a different subject, connected
    by the word que

14
The subjunctive
  • The first subject uses the present indicative
    verb (recommendation, suggestion, prohibition,
    and so on) que and the second subject uses the
    present subjunctive verb (what should happen).

15
The subjunctive
  • Verbs that are often followed by que
    subjunctive
  • Decir
  • Insistir en Prohibir
  • Querer (e gt ie) Permitir
  • Recomendar (e gt ie) Preferir (e gt ie)
  • Sugerir (e gt ie)
  • Necesitar

16
The subjunctive
  • We form the present subjunctive of most verbs the
    same way we form negative tú commands.

17
The subjunctive
  • We drop the -o of the present-tense indicative yo
    form and add the subjunctive endings.
