The Subjunctive with Impersonal Expressions
  • En Español 2

  • Sra. Martínez Serranía

What is the subjunctive?
  • Indicative
  • Explains a statement of fact.
  • All the verb tenses that you have already learned
    are part of the indicative
  • Present
  • Preterite
  • Imperfect
  • Subjunctive
  • Expresses an opinion about an action
  • The opinion indicates uncertainty

3
Subjunctive Formation
  • The subjunctive uses the same forms as the
    Ud./Uds./neg. tú commands.
  • With respect to pronouns, the pronouns will
    always go before the conjugated verbs in the same
    way that they went before the conjugated command
    in the negative way.

Formation Rules
  • Take the yo form of the verb in the present tense
  • Drop the -o
  • Switch the endings
  • endings will be on the next slide
  • If its a stem-changer, the change occurs
  • -ir stem changers The change occurs in all
    forms
  • -er/-ar stem changers The change only occurs in
    the shoe and the nosotros form takes the
    original vowel.
  • Beware of any other spelling changing verbs!
  • -car/-gar/-zar g to j and/or gu to g
