The subjunctive mood in Spanish helps us talk about wishes, doubts, or things that aren't real. Here are some common situations when we use it:

1. Wishes or Feelings:

   • Desear que (to wish that)
     • Example: "Deseo que él venga." (I wish that he comes.)
   • Temer que (to fear that)
     • Example: "Temo que no llegues a tiempo." (I fear that you won’t arrive on time.)

2. Important Statements:

   • Es importante que (it's important that)
     • Example: "Es importante que estudies." (It’s important that you study.)
   • Es probable que (it's probable that)
     • Example: "Es probable que llueva." (It’s likely that it will rain.)

3. Certain Connectors:

   • Aunque (even if)
     • Example: "Aunque sea difícil, lo haré." (Even if it’s hard, I will do it.)
   • Para que (so that)
     • Example: "Trabajo para que me acepten." (I work so that they accept me.)

4. Saying Something’s Not True:

   • In sentences that show doubt, like:
     • No creo que (I don't believe that)
     • Example: "No creo que él sepa la verdad." (I don't believe that he knows the truth.)

5. “If” Statements:

   • In “if” sentences with si that describe something that isn't real:
     • Example: "Si tuviera dinero, viajaría." (If I had money, I would travel.)

Knowing when to use these phrases will help you use the subjunctive mood correctly. This will make your Spanish communication even better!
