Qué es el subjuntivo?
Hoy vamos a aprender el uso del presente del
subjuntivo en clásulas nominales. In other
words, today we are going to learn how to form
the subjunctive and when to use it in noun
clauses!

El Subjuntivo
The subjunctive is often difficult for students
to understand, so I will explain it in English
first and then we will practice using it in
Spanish.
Think of the subjunctive as a mood rather than a
tense. Tense is associated with when an action
occurs (past, present, future), while mood is a
reflection of how the speaker feels about the
action. We dont often use the subjunctive in
English, but it is frequently used in Spanish.

Repaso

• Hasta ahora hemos usado el modo indicativo para
  forma los verbos.
• Usamos el indicativo para un evento conocido o
  cuando la persona que habla no tiene duda.
• El subjuntivo es un poco más complicado. Por
  eso, voy a enseñar en Inglés.

Guidelines

• There are specific moods associated with using
  the subjunctive.
• Many times sentences that express doubt,
  uncertainty, denial, desire, commands or
  reactions require the use of the subjunctive
• These sentences will have two clauses, an
  independent and a dependent clause. If the
  independent clause expresses doubt, uncertainty,
  denial, desire, a command, or reaction then the
  dependent clause will take the subjunctive.

Using the Subjunctive in Noun Clauses

• THREE CONDITIONS REQUIRED TO USE THE SUBJUNCTIVE
  IN NOUN CLAUSES
• 1) The sentence must contain a main clause and a
  subordinate clause.
• 2) The main clause and subordinate clause must
  have DIFFERENT subjects.
• 3) The main clause must communicate a certain
  message.

Formation

• Now that we looked at when to use the subjunctive
  in the most basic form, we need to learn how to
  form the present subjunctive.
• Start with the verb in the yo form- then drop
  the -o ending and add
• -e, -es, -e, emos, éis, en for -ar verbs
• Hablo Hable
• -a, as, -a, áis, an for -er and -ir verbs
• Comen Coman
• Vives Vivas

Goals

• This power point would probably be best used as
  a supplement to a lesson given in class. The
  subjunctive is always a very hard concept to
  teach in Spanish and this power point would give
  students notes and practice to look at at home
  after I taught this lesson. The additional
  websites at the end of the powerpoint would also
  help students become familiar with the next
  topics to be covered in the following class.
  Learning a language requires practice and
  repetition and if I had this power point posted
  on a class website and required students to look
  at it for homework I think it would really help
  reinforce the information they already learned.

Lets Practice!

• Conjugate these verbs into the subjunctive.
  Click on each verb when youre done to check your
  answers!
• Escribir usted form
• Tener ustedes form
• Conocer yo form

15
Dont be fooled!

• Answer conozca
• Remember conocer is irregular in the yo form. The
  subjunctive looks like this
• Yo conozca
• Tú conozcas
• Usted/él/ella conozca
• Nosotros conozacamos
• Vosotros conozcáis
• Ustedes/ellos/ellas conozcan

Recap!

• Today we learned how to form the regular present
  subjunctive in Spanish. Next class we will look
  at irregular conjugations and verbs that are
  irregular in the subjunctive. Visit these
  websites before class and complete the sample
  quiz for extra practice!
• Irregular verbs
• Irregular conjugations

How did you do?

• Escriba

18
Bueno?

• Answer Tengan
• Tenir is irregular in the yo form, but its
  still tengo tenga.

19
Noun Clauses

• Every clause contains a subject and a conjugated
  verb. Some sentences have only one clause (this
  is a simple sentence). Example Quiero agua I
  want water. In this sentence agua is the noun
  describing what the speaker wants.
• Other sentences, called complex sentences, have
  both a main clause (independent) and a
  subordinate (dependent) clause.
• Example Quiero que me traigas agua I want you
  to bring me water. In this sentence que me
  traigas agua is a clause acting as a noun.
  Because the speaker is expressing a desire the
  subjunctive is used in the subordinate clause.

SOL Addressed

• Throughout the lesson I tried to help students
  understand the connection between the subjunctive
  use in English and Spanish. This is covered in
  SOL SIII.7, which states The student will
  reinforce his or her knowledge of connections
  between the Spanish language and other subject
  areas.
• Although the subjunctive is not specifically
  mentioned in the Virginia SOLs for Spanish, most
  school districts require students learn this verb
  form in Spanish III.
