FLAVA & WL Peer Group Conference

Dr. Miguel A. Lechuga
Have you ever thought of Subjunctive as a friend?
In most texts Subjunctive in Spanish is presented as a
hard part of the Grammar.
Perhaps because of the unknown aspect of it or
maybe because students don’t know the existence of
it in English.
Ideally we should present a new way of it to our
students, no as a one more set of conjugations.
Learning subjunctive could be challenging and fun.
Basic.
The subjunctive is not a tense; rather, it is a mood.
Tense refers to when an action takes place (past,
present, future), while mood merely reflects how
the speaker feels about the action.
The subjunctive mood is
rarely used in English, but it is
used.
Examples:
I suggest that you study
Examples:
I suggest that you study
The doctor recommends that he take the pills with food
Examples:
I suggest that you study
The doctor recommends that he take the pills with food
We recommend that she come home today
Examples:
I suggest that you study
The doctor recommends that he take the pills with food
We recommend that she come home today
Robert recommended that Mary join the committee
Examples:
I suggest that you study
The doctor recommends that he take the pills with food
We recommend that she come home today
Robert recommended that Mary join the committee
The mother suggests that her child eat vegetables

The law requires that you be 18 years old to vote

If I were a rich man, I wouldn't have to work hard
Is it essential that we be there?

Yes, it is important that you be there on time
As teachers, we need to pretend two things:
a. The action that the acting (main) subject wants is
not already done at the present.
b. We will follow the “math” formula:
S1 V1 que S2 VS
S1 V1 que S2 VS
S1 is the main subject or subjects.
V1 is the main verb and is conjugated in the normal
conjugation.
que is the most important part of the sentence since is the
hint, the nexus of the two sentences.
S1 ≠ S2; S2 is other subject(s)
VS is the verb, conjugated in the subjunctive tense.
Important, and logic:
We cannot teach subjunctive if students don’t know
the indicative present tense.
The indicative present tense of the three regular endings:
Yo
Tú
El /ella /Ud.
Nosotros
Vosotros
Ellos/as/Uds.
-AR
habl – o
habl – as
habl – a
habl – amos
habl – áis
habl - an
-ER
com – o
com – es
com – e
com – emos
com – éis
com – en
-IR
escrib – o
escrib – es
escrib – e
escrib – emos
escrib – éis
escrib – en
“Copy Cat Endings”
-ar endings are the same as –er and -ir endings in the
present indicative except in the yo form.
-er and -ir endings are the same as -ar endings in the
present indicative except in the yo form.
Using the same verbs, we have,
