  1. El subjuntivo with conjunctions of time • El subjuntivo is used after certain conjunctions of time to show that you are not sure when or if something will happen.

  2. You use the indicative (not subjunctive) with the same conjunctions of time when the main clause refers to the present or the past. • Use the indicative when you are certain about the outcome of the action. Use the subjunctive when you are not sure.

  3. TRIGGERS FOR SUBJUNCTIVE: Main clause/Independent clause (conjunction) Dependent clause FUTURE (conjunction) SUBJUNCTIVE COMMAND (conjunction) SUBJUNCTIVE CONTINGENCY (conjunction) SUBJUNCTIVE (poder, someone can do this, or is going to do this)

  4. TRIGGERS FOR INDICATIVE (not subjunctive): • Main clause/Independent clause (conjunction) Dependent clause • PRESENT (conjunction) INDICATIVE • PAST (conjunction) INDICATIVE • HABITUAL (conjunction) INDICATIVE • TRUTH (conjunction) INDICATIVE

  5. Remember, words that change in the present tense, indicative YO form will change throughout the subjunctive: Conocerconozca, Amaneceramanezca, ETC

  6. REGLA (for now anyway): If the first half of the sentence has a subjunctive trigger AND is in either the future tense or the present tense indicative, use the present tense subjunctive. If the first half of the sentence is in the past tense indicative (preterite/imperfect) USE the SAME TENSE (preterite/imperfect).
