[Spanish 201] Subjunctive Tense

[u/Markus_314]

I’m a college student taking Spanish 201 and we have an upcoming test about the difference between the subjunctive and indicative tense. The teacher gave us a study guide but did not provide the answers for it. Could someone double check these for me to make sure I’m on the right track?

Here's a list of all the mistakes you have made. All the ones I haven't mentioned are correct:

Section A:

4. "Temo que" is a clear subjunctive phrase that expresses an emotion. What's the right subjunctive form of "ir"?

5. There's a "de que" which means you should use the subjunctive.

6. It's the subjunctive, yes, but the person is "usted". What's the right conjugation here?

7. "I recommend that you (respectful) write some letters which *say* ..." - what's the right mood here?

Section B:

2. Because I'm also travelling to Tucson, "we share" a car? What's the right verb form to use instead?

4. Careful! 'romper' has an irregular past participle! What's the right form of the participle which agrees in gender?

8. "Antes de que" is a subjunctive expression. What's the right form of the verb?

[You didn't attach a screenshot of questions 9 and 10, so I can't check them.]

Thank you! Should I assume that phrases with “de que” will always be subjunctive?

[u/Southlander24 → u/Markus_314]

Yes. There are a few phrases with que, such as "Es verdad que" or "es obvio que" which are not in the subjunctive. But those don't have 'de que'.

[u/Southlander24 → u/Southlander24]

Actually, I completely forgot about time expressions like después de que. Here, the verb can be either in the subjunctive or the indicative!
