2 The subjunctive/ el subjunctive
The subjunctive (subjunctivo) is one of three moods in Spanish (indicative, imperative, and subjunctive). A mood is a grammatical term which helps categorize verb tenses. The subjunctive mood is used more frequently in Spanish than in English.

3 Rules for regular verbs
The present (or present simple) is the most basic tense in the subjunctive mood. For most verbs, the present subjunctive is formed by dropping the -o ending from the first person singular yo of the present indicative and adding the present subjunctive endings. The present subjunctive endings are different for –ar verbs (–e, -es, -e, -emos, -en) and –er/-ir verbs (–a, -as, -a, -amos, -an).

4 Subjunctive present Regular ar verbs Regular –er- and ir verbs
hablar  to speak yo hable nosotros/as hablemos tú hables él/ella/usted hable ellos/as/ustedes hablen decir  to say yo diga nosotros/as digamos tú digas él/ella/usted diga ellos/as/ustedes digan

5 Let to see some example Poder: present indicative puedo, podemos – present subjunctive pueda, podamos. Pedir: present indicative pido, pedimos – present subjunctive pida, pidamos practice

6 Irregular verbs Verbs that don’t end in -o in their yo form present tense, like ser –> soy and ir –> voy are irregular in the present subjunctive. There are only six truly irregular verbs in the subjunctive. You'll find the conjugations for each of these verbs in the tables below.

7 Irregular verbs Ser: sea, seas, sea, seamos, sean Haber: haya
Estar: esté, estés, esté, estemos, estén Ir: vaya, vayas, vaya, vayamos, vayan Saber: sepa, sepas, sepa, sepamos, sepan Dar: dé, des, de, demos, den

8 Features of Sentences that Use the Subjunctive
There are three main features that most sentences that use the subjunctive share: two subjects, two verbs, and a relative pronoun. 1. Two Subjects Most subjunctive sentences will have one subject in the main clause and one in the secondary clause. The attitude of the subject in the main clause is what triggers the use of the subjunctive in the secondary clause. Ex. Espero que yo lo sepa hacer. I hope I know how to do it.

9 2. Two Verbs Most subjunctive sentences have two verbs: a verb in the indicative in the main clause and a verb in the subjunctive in the secondary clause. Laura quiere que tú limpies el baño. Laura wants you to clean the bathroom. 3. A Relative Pronoun Most subjunctive sentences have a relative pronoun (such as que or quien) that links the main (indicative) clause to the secondary (subjunctive) clause. Laura quiere que tú limpies el baño. Laura wants you to clean the bathroo
