Transcript The Subjunctive Mood

The Subjunctive Mood
So far you have learned the
“indicative” tense. This is how we
express facts.
The subjunctive mood is used to
express . . .
•

•
•
Wish
Hope
Desire
Uncertainty
Example of when to use the
subjunctive
“I
want
that you eat your food.”
“Yo quiero que comas tu comida.”
“Comas” is subjunctive (comer), because it is
uncertain if you will eat it or not.
Notice how the verb comer (an “er” verb) is
conjugated with an “ar” ending.
Example of when to use
subjunctive
I
want that you study.
Yo quiero que estudies.
Estudies is subjunctive, because I don’t know
if you’ll study or not.
Notice how estudiar (an “ar” verb) is
conjugated with an “er” ending.
How do we conjugate the
subjunctive?
• For an “ar” verb, you use the endings
for “er/ir” verbs
• For “er/ir” verbs, you use the endings
for “ar” verbs
Are there irregulars?
• Of course!!
• We’ll work on those later.
Do we use the subjunctive
in English?
• Not usually
• We use it to speak hypothetically:
“If I WERE king . . .”
(Usually you don’t say “I were,” you
say, “I was.” “Were” is subjunctive.
Common verbs used with
the subjective
• Querer (If I want you to do
something, I’m not sure that you will).
• Esperar (If I hope that something
happens, I’m not sure that it will).
