For instance: dondequiera ‘‘wherever’’, cualquiera ‘‘whichever’’ or ‘‘whatever’’, quienquiera ‘‘whomever’’ or ‘‘whoever’’, comoquiera ‘‘whatever’’ or ‘‘however.’’ĭondequiera que estés, siempre estaremos juntos. It is good that you feel like that.Ĭertain subjunctive sentences do not necessarily start with another clause, sometimes indefinite pronouns can also serve as subjunctive indicators. It is good that you’re friends again.Įs bueno que te sientas así. It is fair that your mom knows the truth.Įs bueno que sean amigos nuevamente. It is fair that they have another opportunity.Įs justo que tu mamá sepa la verdad.

For instance: es bonito que ‘‘it is nice that’’, es importante que ‘‘it is important that’’, es triste que ‘‘it is sad that’’, es justo que ‘‘it is fair that’’, es bueno que ‘‘it is good that’’, among others.Įs bonito que seas amable con la gente. While these types of sentences do belong in the above category, they need to have their own section because there are several impersonal statements that serve as subjunctive indicators. Also, the verbs creer ‘‘to believe’’, considerar ‘‘to consider’’, and pensar ‘‘to think’’ are conjugated in the subjunctive mood in negative sentences and questions. Notice how these sentences contain two clauses joined by the relative pronoun que, which, in turn, introduces the subjunctive in all cases. ¿No crees que yo tenga buenas intenciones? - Don’t you think I have good intentions? ¿No crees que ella sea una buena persona? - Don’t you think she is a good person? – I hope she thinks about other possibilities before making a decision. Yo espero que ella piense en otras posibilidades antes de tomar una decisión. – I don’t consider that to be a good idea. Yo no considero que esa sea una buena idea.

She hopes I will go to her house next Saturday.
I hope you will come to my party.Įlla espera que yo vaya a su casa el próximo sábado. I want you to look for a new apartment. Yo quiero que tú busques un nuevo apartamento. (The O can also stand for the very Spanish expression Ojalá.) Take the acronym WEIRDO which stands for Wishes, Emotions, Impersonal statements, Recommendations, Doubts and Orders. Many struggle to remember which verbs are often used at the beginning of subjunctive sentences, but here is a fun way to do so. The verb in the dependent clause then takes the subjunctive. It is important to remember that in most cases the verb in the first clause has to be conjugated in the indicative mood. Spanish subjunctive sentences normally contain four main parts: a main clause, a dependent clause (or noun in this case), a relative pronoun ( que, quien, como), and a verb.
