Nombre: EL SUBJUNTIVO: a mood and not a tense I. What is a mood? Mood describes the form of the verb that shows the subject’s attitude. A. The indicative mood: Up until this point in your Spanish career, you have mostly been learning tenses in the _______________ mood. For example, you’ve learned the present tense (yo hablo), the present progressive (yo ______________) tense, the preterit tense (yo ________________), and the imperfect tense (yo _______________). The indicative mood states facts and expresses certainty or reality. B. The imperative mood: More recently, you’ve been learning _____________________ which are the imperative mood. The imperative mood demands that things be done. Fill in the correct forms of Hablar below. EJEMPLO: ¡___________ más despacio por favor! (tú form) EJEMPLO: ¡___________ más despacio por favor!

The present subjunctive is formed by changing the vowel -a- of the present indicative to –e- in –ar verbs and the vowels –e- and –i- of the present indicative to –a- in –er and –ir verbs. In other words, just drop the –o- of the present indicative yo form and add the opposite vowel ending.
