  1. ANTE TODO • You will now learn how to use the subjunctive with verbs and expressions of will and influence. Quiero que tengas dientes más blancos. • Verbs of will and influence are often used when someone wants to affect the actions or behavior of other people. What the person wants to influence may or may not actually happen. Enrique quiereque salgamos a cenar. Enrique wants usto go out to dinner. (English) Enrique wants that we go out to dinner. (Spanish) Es necesario que cenemos en casa. It is necessary for us to have dinner at home. (English) It is necessary that we have dinner at home. (Spanish)

  2. Some impersonal expressions, such as es necesario (que), es importante (que), es mejor (que), and es urgente (que), are considered expressions of will or influence.

  3. Verbs of will and influence * (often used with indirect object pronouns)

  4. The infinitive is used with words or expressions of will and influence, if there is no change of subject in the sentence. No quiero sacudir los muebles. I don’t want to dust the furniture. Paco prefieredescansar. Paco prefers to rest. Es importante sacar la basura. It’s important to take out the trash. No es necesario quitar la mesa. It’s not necessary to clear the table.

  5. ¡ATENCIÓN! • In English, constructions using the infinitive, such as I want you to go, are often used with verbs or expressions of will or influence. This is not the case in Spanish, where the subjunctive would be used in a subordinate clause.

  6. When the main clause contains an expression of will or influence, the subjunctive is required in the subordinate clause, provided that the two clauses have different subjects. MAIN CLAUSE CONNECTOR SUBORDINATE CLAUSE Mi mamá prefiereque yo saquela basura.

  7. que + subjunctive is required if: - the verb in the first clause is a verb of will or influence AND - the subject in the second clause is different from the subject in the first clause. S1 + (verb of will indicative) + que + S2 + (verb subjunctive)

  8. I want to study. • I want • to study • Yo quiero estudiar. • I want him to study. • I want • that • change him to “he” • use subjunctive for study to agree with “he” • Quiero que él estudie.

  9. It is important to study. • Es importante • estudiar • Es importante estudiar. • It is important for him to study. • Es importante • Change “for” to “that.” (que) • Change “him” to “he.” • Change the infinitive to the subjunctive to agree with él. • Es importante que él estudie.

  10. Indirect object pronouns (me, te, le, nos, os, les) are often used with the verbs aconsejar, importar, mandar, pedir, prohibir, recomendar, rogar, and sugerir. Although these object pronouns appear in the first clause, they indicate the subject of the second clause. Teaconsejo que estudies. I advise you to study. Lesugiero que vaya a casa. I suggest that he go home. Lesrecomiendo que barran el suelo. I recommend that you sweep the floor. Leruego que no venga. I beg him not to come.

  11. Use of object pronouns in English triggers the use of the infinitive or the gerund in English. Use of indirect object pronouns in the first clause, in Spanish triggers the use of the subjunctive in Spanish after “que” me = that I te = that you le = that you, he, she nos = that we os = that you all les = that you all, that they Es importante que él estudie. Me prohíbe que yo salga. • me = to/for me • te = to/for you • le = to/for you, him, her • nos = to/for us • os = to/for you all • les = to/for you all, them • It is important for himto study. • She prohibits me from leaving.

  12. Note that all the forms of prohibir in the present tense carry a written accent, except for the nosotros form: prohíbo prohibimos prohíbes prohibís prohíbe prohíben Ella les prohíbe que miren la televisión. She prohibits them from watching television. (English) She prohibits that they watch television. (Spanish) Nosprohíben que nademos en la piscina. They prohibit that we swim in the swimming pool. (Spanish) They prohibit us from swimming in the swimming pool. (English)
