El presente del Subjuntivo
The Indicative
Up to now you have been using verbs in the indicative mood, which is used to talk about facts or actual events.
The Indicative
Aprendo francés para mi viaje.
The Subjunctive
Spanish has another way of using verbs called the subjunctive mood.
The Subjunctive
We use it to say what one person does or doesn’t want, tell, suggest, or recommend someone else to do.
The Subjunctive
We form the present subjunctive of most verbs the same way we form negative tú commands, Usted and Ustedes commands..
The Subjunctive
We drop the -o of the present-tense indicative yo form and add the subjunctive endings.
The Subjunctive
For -ar verbs:e, es, e, emos, éis, enFor -er/-ir verbs:a, as, a, amos, áis, an
Irregular Subjunctive Verbs
As with commands, if there is a stem change all forms will change in the subjunctive except for the nosotros and vosotros forms.

Irregular Subjunctive Verbs
As in negative commands, irregular verbs that add a “g” to the stem in the present-tense yo form also have a “g” in the present subjunctive.
