The Subjunctive
Spanish
has another way
of using verbs called the
subjunctive mood.
The Subjunctive
We
use it to say what one
person does or doesn’t
want, tell, suggest, or
recommend someone else
to do.
The Subjunctive
A
sentence that includes
the subjunctive form has
two parts connected by the
word que.
For example:
The Subjunctive
Recomendamos
que Uds.
hablen con un agente de
viajes.
We recommend that you
speak with a travel agent.
The Subjunctive
¿Quiere
Ud. que
escribamos nuestros
nombres en las maletas?
Do you want us to write
our names on our
suitcases?
The Subjunctive
Note
that the subjunctive
sentences have two parts,
each with a different
subject, connected by the
word que:
