¿Qué es el Indicativo? We have studied the indicative mood which expresses factual information, certainty, and objectivity. The indicative is objective (no personal opinion)! Tenses include: present,preterite,imperfect,future,etc. Ella es de España. Yo estudio mucho para la clase de español. Tú sacaste una buena nota en el examen.
¿Qué es el Subjuntivo? The subjunctive is a verb mood – it reflects how the speaker feels about the situation. The subjunctive is subjective (personal opinion)! Ex. Art The subjunctive expresses will, wishes, emotions, impersonal expressions, requests, recommendations, doubt, denial and uncertainty.
Las Reglas para el Subjuntivo The subjunctive has two verbs, each in its own clause. There must be a change of person or subject in the main verb and dependent verb. Yo quiero que tú vayas. (2 people) Yo quiero ir. (1 person) The two clauses, verbs, are joined by “que.” Yo no quiero que ella llegue tarde. Es posible que llueva mañana. El maestro les exige que los estudiantes estudien.
