    Very good. We start with the "yo" form of the verb in Spanish

    • We drop the "o"

    • For "ar" verbs we now add: e, es, e, emos, en. For "er" and "ir" verbs we now add: a, as, a, amos, an.

    The Subjunctive mood is used when there are two(2) clauses and the subject of the verb in the second clause is different from the subject in the main clause. They are usually joined by "que".

    • Yo quiero(main clause) que Tu visites(second clause)

    • Yo siento(main clause) que Carla no pueda (second clause)

    • This is very different from: Yo quiero visitar or Siento que(yo) no puedo venir.
