Ei subjuntivo: Verbos regulares (p. 132)

• When someone gives advice, recommendations, suggestions, or demands toanother person, Spanish uses the subjunctive mood.

• A sentence that includes the subjunctive can be thought of as having two separatehalves, which are connected by the word que.

Yo recomiendo que tu hagas ejerclclo. I recommend that you exercise.

• Notice that the first half (Yo recomiendo) includes a verb in the regular presenttense and introduces a suggestion, demand, etc. The second half (tu hagasejerclclo) includes a verb in the subjunctive and tells what the first person wantsthe second person to do.

• Verbs in the subjunctive form may look somewhat familiar to you because theyfollow the same conjugation rules as the Ud./Uds. commands. To form verbs inthe subjunctive, follow the rules below:

1) Put the verb in the yo form of the present indicative (regular present tense).

^ 2) Take off the -o.

3) a. For -ar verbs, add the following endings: -e, -es, -e, -emos, -eis, -enb. For -er and -Ir verbs, add the following endings: -a, -as, -a, -amos, -als, -an
