Subjunctive Notes
In Spanish we use the subjunctive form when there is doubt or uncertainty when something is being done or has even been completed yet. We use certain clues and phrases to identify when subjunctive should be used. Our biggest clues is that with WEIRDO:
Wish, desire
Emotion
Impersonal Expressions
Recommendations
Doubt, denial, disbelief
Ojala
In order to create a sentence in the subjunctive form, we first have to establish 2 subjects separated by the word "que". (Yo deseo que ella....)
Using WEIRDO to begin with and adding the rule above, we can conjugate the verb after "que" into the subjunctive form. Start with the "Yo" form of the verb in the present tense, take off the "o" at the end and add the opposite verb ending to the action. This means that -ar verb endings have -er verb ending and -er/-ir verb endings use that of -ar:
-ar (e, es, e, emos, éis, en)
-er/-ir (a, as, a, amos, áis, an)
The only exception to these rules is when stating a sentence that is true. These exceptions are called VOCES. These verbs are in the positive connotation and in order to use them in subjunctive we have to add a "no" to make the sentence negative.
