The present subjunctive. See p. 410. Fill in the notes, charts, then answer the questions.
The subjunctive mood is used to say that one person influences the actions of ____________________.
Note that the subjunctive sentences have two parts, each with a _____________________ subject, connected by
the word___________________.
The first part uses the present indicative verb (WEIRDO) + que
The second part uses the present subjunctive verb (what should happen). The present subjunctive is
formed in the same way as negative tú commands and all Ud. and Uds. Commands. You drop the –o of the
present-tense indicative yo form and add the present-tense subjunctive endings.
I.e. Ella sugiere que yo aprenda francés. I.e. Recomendamos que Uds. hablen con un agente de viajes.
Conjugate the following verbs in the subjunctive:
-hablar
-comer/-escribir
*The present tense subjunctive has the same spelling changes (i.e. –car, -gar, and –zar verbs) and
irregular yo form changes used with the negative tú and Ud./Uds. commands (i.e. hago, tengo, conozco,
etc). See the Que WEIRDO packet for deltails.

Practice answering some of the following questions in the subjunctive.
1. ¿Qué insistes que un turista vea en la ciudad de Nueva York?
2. ¿Quieren tú y tus amigos que Penncrest sirva comida diferente en la cafetería? ¿Por qué sí o no?
3. ¿Dónde recomiendas que yo compre chocolate de comercio justo?
4. ¿Cuál actividad sugiere usted que mi familia yo hagamos en Costa Rica?
5. ¿Cuántos aguates quieres que yo compre en el mercado?
6. ¿Cuándo prefieres que empiece la fiesta de tu cumpleaños?
Irregular verbs in the subjunctive pg. 413. Verbs that have irregular negative tú, and Ud./Uds. commands
also have irregular subjuntive forms. Fill in the subjunctive charts.
-dar- to________________
-ir- to________________
-saber- to__________
-estar- to______________(LACE)
_______________ y __________________
-ser- to________________(DOCTOR)

to express how you influence another person’s actions. See the I in your WEIRDO packet. Answer the

The future tense pg. 460. You already know how to use the present tense to express the future
(Trabajamos mañana) and the future implied (Vamos a trabajar mañana). Another way to talk about
future events is to use the future tense. The future tense expresses what WILL happen.
To form the future tense of regular –ar, -er and –ir verbs, use the same set of ending for all verbs and add
them to the INFINITIVE. Fill in the charts below.
