Document Summary
The subjunctive ( el subjuntivo ) is used mainly in the subordinate clause of multiple-clause sentences to express will, influence, emotion, doubt, or denial. The present subjunctive is formed by dropping the -o from the yo form of the present indicative and adding these endings: habl e habl es habl e habl emos habl is habl en. The present subjunctive hablar comer escribir com a com as com a com amos com is com an escrib a escrib as escrib a escrib amos escrib is escrib an. The indicative is used to express actions, states, or facts the speaker considers to be certain. The subjunctive expresses the speaker"s attitude toward events, as well as actions or states that the speaker views as uncertain. Verbs with stem changes in the present indicative show the same changes in the present subjunctive. Verbs that end in -car, -gar, and -zar undergo spelling changes in the present subjunctive.
