Citation preview
En Español
The subjuntivo is not a tense; rather, it is a mood.
Tense refers to when an action takes place (past, present, future), while mood merely reflects how the speaker feels about the action.
The subjunctive mood is rarely used in English, but it is widely used in Spanish.
Further Explanation
In general, the subjunctive is a verb mood that is used to express an action or state of being in the context of the speaker's reaction to it.
Most commonly (although not always), the subjunctive verb is used in a clause that starts with the relative pronoun que (meaning "which," "that" or "who").
Frequently, the sentences that contain a subjunctive verb are used to express doubt, uncertainty, denial, desire, commands or reactions to the clause containing the subjunctive verb.
This VERB has to TRIGGER the subjunctive. It must denote
emotion, denial, uncertainty, volition, influence, desire, etc.
Formula for when subjunctive is used ->
S1 + V1 + QUE + S2 + V2

Quiero que... "I want..."
Ojalá... "I hope..."
Es importante que... "It is important that..."
Me alegro de que... "I am happy that..."
Es bueno que... "It is good that..."
Es necesario que... "It is necessary that..."
Dudo que... "I doubt that..."
