  6. How do you know when to use this? • When a sentence starts with one of those phrases AND the subject changes after the que, the verb that goes with the new subject will be in the subjunctive mood. • Another way to know when to use these is by using the acronym, WEIRDO. Each letter stands for another use.

  7. WEIRDO • W - Will / Wish • E - Emotions • I - Impersonal Expressions • R - Requests • D - Doubt or Denial • O - Ojalá • I will hand out a sheet with different verbs in each category.

  9. ¿Cómo se forma el sujuntivo? • Do you remember how to form formal commands? • Just like those you begin with: • 1. Present tense yo form • 2. Drop the ‘o’ • 3. Add the appropriate endings.

Spelling Irregularities: • Remember the –car, gar, and zar spelling changes: car- qu, gar – gu, zar – c • Verbs ending in -cer and –cir have spelling issues in the yo form in the present: conocer - conozco traducir - traduzco • Verbs like construir with the u at the end of the stem will have a y added to the conjugated yo form: construyo • Stem-changing verbs will follow the same rules. No stem-change in the nosotros form. • Volver – vuelva vuelvas vuelva volvamos vuelvan

  12. Irregulars: • Ir- to go • vaya, vayas, vaya, vayamos, vayan • Saber – to know a fact • Sepa, sepas, sepa, sepamos, sepan • Ser – to be • Sea, seas, sea, seamos, sean • Dar – to give • Dé, des, dé, demos, den • Remember that if a verb is irregular in the yo form, it will have a somewhat irregular form in the subjunctive.
