El Subjuntivo
You have seen so far that the subjunctive is
used to describe the following:
• Things that may or may not happen (ex- I
want you to do your homework.)
• Things that deal with emotions (ex- Your
parents are happy that you won your softball
game.)
• Things that are ambiguous (ex- I don’t think
my boyfriend is going to the party)
El Subjuntivo
There are phrases and words of volition that
help remind us when we need to use the
subjunctive tense.
WEIRDO Wedding is a mnemonic device
that will help you remember when to use the subjunctive
and which verbs are verbs of volition.
From now on we are going to look at the subjunctive tense
as a wedding.
WEIRDO WEDDING- When to use
the Subjunctive Tense
In order to use the subjunctive tense we must have a
WEIRDO Wedding!
What makes a WEIRDO wedding?
1. A bride and groom
2. A wedding ring
3. A proposal
*All three must be present to have a
wedding/Subjunctive Tense*
WEIRDO Wedding
1. Bride and Groom
The bride and groom in the wedding represent the
change in subject in the subjunctive sentence. You must
have 2 people to get married…and you must have 2
different subjects to use the subjunctive. If there is only
one subject in the sentence (ex-yo) then there can not
be a weirdo wedding!
*Phrases of volition may substitute for one of the subjects*

2. Wedding Ring
The wedding ring in subjunctive sentences
is represented by the word “que”. Without
“que” as our wedding ring there can not be
a wedding/subjunctive sentence!
(In some cases “que” is not used-but
MOST of the time we will need “que” to
have a wedding)

3. The Proposal
In order to get married someone has to
propose to you….
The proposal must be one of the verbs or
phrases of volition. This is where the
WEIRDO comes into play. Each letter in
WEIRDO represents verbs of volition.
