In English we say I hope that… to express hopes or wishes. Verbs that follow such expressions of hope dont require a special verb form. However, in Spanish they do! This is what the subjunctive tense is all about.
3
One way to express a hope or wish is to use the phrase Ojalá que… with the present subjunctive. Subjunctive formation is similar to commands.
4
AR verbs first. Start with the Yo form of the verb. Drop the o Ad the following ends: e, es, e, emos, en Hablar – Hablo HableHablemos Hables HableHablen
5
ER/IR verbs Start with the Yo form Drop the o Add the following endings; a, as, a,amos, an Escribir – Escribo EscribaEscribamos Escribas Escribaescriban
6
If you are expressing a FACT you do not use the subjunctive Ejemplo: Ganamos un premio hoy If you are expressing HOPE you DO use the subjunctive Ojalá que ganemos un premio hoy.
7
Stem changing verbs and irregular formations in the present keep their irregularites! Pensar = Pienso Poder = Puedo Tener = Tengo
