Remember? The subjunctive is a MOOD We use the subjunctive after: Impersonal expressions (es bueno que) Verbs of emotion (estoy contento que) Verbs of doubt (no estoy seguro que)
Formation of Present subjunctive We take the “yo” form of the verb in the present tense We drop the “o” Then we add the OPPOSITE endings
Verbs of influence Aconsejar que Dejar que Exigir que Mandar que Prohibir que Sugerir (e-i) que To advise that To allow that To demand that To order/command that To prohibit that To suggest that

¡OJO! Remember-These verbs of influence are in the preterite, but they are not subjunctive. They are indicative (aka) regular preterite tense. The subjunctive ALWAYS comes after “QUE”
Formation of the past Subjunctive Take the verb that follows “que” and put it in the ellos/ellas form of the preterite: i.e. Hablaron Comieron Vivieron
