Si creciste como hablante nativo de ingl\u00e9s, probablemente nunca hab\u00edas o\u00eddo hablar del subjuntivo. Eso se debe a que no solemos aprender la gram\u00e1tica como hablantes nativos del mismo modo que cuando aprendemos otro idioma. Este tiempo gramatical es tan com\u00fan que lo oyes todos los d\u00edas. Aqu\u00ed te ayudaremos con las dudas que puedas tener sobre el uso del subjuntivo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subjuntivo en ingl\u00e9s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

English does have the subjunctive, but it tends to sound \u201cold timey.\u201d However, we actually use the subjunctive in English all the time! Let\u2019s take a look at this example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CONVERSA
Leer m\u00e1s<\/strong>V\u00eddeo: Falsos amigos espa\u00f1ol-ingl\u00e9s<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div>

\u201cThey are punished.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI recommend that they not be punished.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CONVERSA
Leer m\u00e1s<\/strong>Actividad en l\u00ednea: Conjugar verbos espa\u00f1oles en presente<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div>

\u00bfVes c\u00f3mo cambia el verbo en ingl\u00e9s entre estas dos frases? Eso es porque \u00a1tambi\u00e9n ocurre en ingl\u00e9s! Siempre que necesites expresar incertidumbre, o deseos, utilizamos el subjuntivo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Utilizar el subjuntivo en espa\u00f1ol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a handy acronym to help us know when to use the subjunctive in Spanish. Since it\u2019s a bit extra\u00f1o<\/em>podemos utilizar el acr\u00f3nimo W.E.I.R.D.O.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

W- wishes. \u201cQuiero que mis estudiantes estudien.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

E- emotions. \u201cMe alegro de que no haya una tormenta.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I- impersonal expressions. \u201cEs esencial que prestes atenci\u00f3n.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

R- requests and recommendations. \u201cRecomiendo que vayas al restaurante nuevo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D- doubt, denial. \u201cDudo que mis hijos limpien la casa.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O- ojal\u00e1. \u201cOjal\u00e1 que mi amiga llegue a tiempo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What all of these have in common is that we use the subjunctive for anything that isn\u2019t a fact. For facts, we use the indicative, or the \u201cregular old present.\u201d Anything that is your opinion, you\u2019ll need to use the subjunctive in Spanish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formar frases en subjuntivo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A la hora de hacer nuestras propias frases, hay una f\u00f3rmula que te ayudar\u00e1 a empezar a utilizar el subjuntivo en tu vida cotidiana. La mayor\u00eda de las veces, puedes seguirla como ayuda:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

S1 V1 + que + S2 V2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This stands for \u201csubject 1 verb 1 + que + subject 2 verb 2.\u201d Basically, to form the subjunctive, you need a change in subject, meaning something can\u2019t be describing their doubts or opinions about themself. In this formula, the first verb is en indicativo<\/a>, and the second verb is in the subjunctive, bridged with the word \u201cque.\u201d Let\u2019s see it in action:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMis padres prohiben que yo salga esta noche.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En este caso, el primer sujeto (S1) es padres<\/em>y el segundo sujeto (S2) es yo<\/em>. El primer verbo (V1) est\u00e1 en indicativo, prohiben<\/em>y el segundo verbo (V2), est\u00e1 en subjuntivo, salir.<\/em> Para formar el subjuntivo, algo tiene que causarlo, por eso el subjuntivo est\u00e1 en la segunda parte de la frase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This grammatical topic can seem a bit overwhelming at first, but with practice, you\u2019ll get the hang of it. Before you know it, it\u2019ll start to feel natural. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

If you grew up as a native English speaker, you had probably never even heard of the subjunctive before. That\u2019s because we tend not to learn grammar as a native speaker in the same way we do when we learn another language. This grammatical tense is so common, you hear it every day.
