1 OK…once again: How do we form the subjunctive? 1.Start with the present tense “yo” form. 2.Drop the “-o.” 3.Add the opposite ending (“-e” for “-ar” verbs and “- a” for “-er/-ir” verbs) 4.Add the appropriate subject ending (i.e. “-emos” for nosotros, “-es” for tú,” etc.).

2 What present tense “yo” forms don’t end in “-o” ? dar  Yo doy. estar  Yo estoy. ir  Yo voy. saber  Yo sé. ser  Yo soy.

3 Putting 2 and 2 together… If they don’t end in “-o,” we can’t drop the “-o.” If they can’t be formed the regular way, then they must be… IRREGULAR!

4 DAR Es importante que… -yo dé. -tú des. -usted/él/ella dé. -nosotros demos. -ustedes/ellos(as) den.

5 Did you notice??? Why do the “yo” and “usted/él/ella” forms of “dar” in the subjunctive have accents and the others don’t? Yo dé. Usted/él/ella dé.

6 ESTAR Es bueno que… -yo esté. -tú estés. -usted/él/ella esté. -nosotros estemos. -ustedes/ellos(as) estén.

7 IR Es posible que… -yo vaya. -tú vayas. -usted/él/ella vaya. -nosotros vayamos. -ustedes/ellos(as) vayan.

8 SABER Es necesario que… -yo sepa. -tú sepas. -usted/él/ella sepa. -nosotros sepamos. -ustedes/ellos(as) sepan.

9 SER Es interesante que… -yo sea. -tú seas. -usted/él/ella sea. -nosotros seamos. -ustedes/ellos(as) sean.

10 Remember what we said about the verb “haber” ? WE ONLY USE THE “IT” FORM (USTED/ÉL/ELLA)!!! Therefore, the subjunctive of “haber” is haya. Ejemplo: Es raro que no haya clase hoy.

11 Some rules to take note of… 1.Verbs ending in –ar and –er have the same stem changes as in the present indicative. Ejemplos: cerrar (e  ie) Es bueno que tú cierres la puerta. volver (o  ue) Es importante que yo vuelva pronto.

12 2. The stem changes for –ir verbs follow the same pattern as in the present indicative for all forms except nosotros (and vosotros), where they change e  i, or o  u. Ejemplo: dormir (o  ue, u) Es necesario que todos durmamos 8 horas cada noche.

13 3. Verbs that change e  i in the present indicative have the same stem change in all forms of the present subjunctive. Ejemplo: pedir (e  i) Es mejor que tú pidas primero y que nosotros pidamos después de ti.
