The subjunctive mood in Spanish helps us talk about feelings like doubt, wishes, and advice. Here are some phrases that make you use the subjunctive mood:
Imperfect vs. Preterite: The imperfect tense talks about actions happening over time in the past. The preterite is for actions that are done.
Future Tense: This talks about actions that will happen. Some verbs change. For example, tener becomes tendré, and salir becomes saldré.
Conditional Sentences: You can use si (if) plus the imperfect subjunctive. For example, Si tuviera dinero, compraría un coche means (If I had money, I would buy a car).
Past Participles: These are used for perfect tenses like he hablado (I have talked) and había hablado (I had talked).
Comparative and Superlative Forms: To compare things, use más...que (more...than) or el más...de (the most...of).
Pronouns: Learn about direct pronouns (like lo or la), indirect pronouns (like le or les), and reflexive pronouns (like me, te, se).
Commands: For positive commands, use the tú form like habla (talk). For negative commands, use the subjunctive form like no hables (don’t talk).
Pronoun Placement: Usually, put pronouns before the verb (like me lo dices), but they can also follow infinitives (like dímelo).
