[Pages:11]El Subjuntivo

All tenses we have studied up until this point are considered el indicativo ? the indicative

The indicative tense states facts

The Subjunctive states things that might happen

Quiero que tengan ?xito y que ganen mucho dinero I am hoping that you will be successful and make a lot of money. Subjunctive implies that you may not necessarily be successful or make a lot of money.

Forming the Subjunctive

Step 1: Conjugate the infinitive to the yo present tense form.

This will be the stem for all forms of the verb in the subjunctive.

Step 2: use the appropriate ending.

In a nutshell, -AR verbs will have present tense ?ER/-IR endings, and ?ER/-IR verbs will have present tense ? AR verb endings

Example

tenga tengas tenga

Tener

tengamos ---

tengan

Exceptions to the rule:

dar d? des d? demos den

estar est? est?s est? estemos est?n

ir vaya vayas vaya vayamos vayan

saber sepa sepas sepa sepamos sepan

ser sea seas sea seamos sean

Formal Commands

In Chapter 9 of Spanish 2, we discussed informal commands.

These are used with people you know on a first name basis.

Formal commands are used when: 1) speaking to an adult or 2) speaking to someone you do not know on a first name basis.

Forming Formal Commands

To form the formal command, you simply take the Ud. form of the subjunctive.

Prepare la cena Make dinner

To make the command a negative command, add "no" before the command

No prepare la cena Don't make dinner

To make the command plural, use the Uds. form. To make it negative, put the "no" in front of the command

(No) preparen la cena.
