Before we look at present perfect subjunctive, let's check in about the subjunctive one more time.

What 3 steps do we use to conjugate a verb in el subjuntivo?

To conjugate a verb in el subjuntivo...

• Step 1: Conjugate the verb in the yo form

• Step 2: Take off the -o*

• Step 3: Put on the opposite ending for the person(s) you're talking about

• Ejemplo: Tú + dibujar --> dibujo --> dibuj --> dibuj + es = dibujes

• *Watch out for verbs where you can't just take off the "-o". These verbs are IRREGULAR.

Multiple Choice

Remember, we know the present tense conjugations of "haber" from using present perfect. Think about the "yo" form specifically.

Question: Will the present subjunctive conjugations of haber be regular or irregular?

• Regular

• Irregular

¿Cuándo usamos el subjuntivo?

• In general, we need to use subjunctive when something isn't 100% certain

• In sentences, we use subjunctive in the dependent clause (the part after the "que") when the main/independent clase talks about...

• Wishes/Desires (Espero que...)

• Impersonal Phrases (Es bueno que...)

• Doubt/Denial (Dudo que...)

• Ojalá (Ojalá que...)

¿Cuándo usamos el subjuntivo?

• Today, we're only going to focus on subjunctive with verbs that talk about:

• 1. Hope/Desire/Want

• 2. Doubt

Verbs that relate to Wishes & Desires

• 1. Esperar que + subjunctive (to hope/wish that...)

• 2. Desear que + subjunctive (to desire that...)

2 Subjects = Subjunctive

• IMPORTANTE: We almost always need 2 different subjects in order to use subjunctive (different people on each side of the "que")

• Ejemplo: Tú esperas que ella VAYA a prom contigo.

Present Perfect Subjunctive

• The present perfect tense you already know technically has a longer name: Present Perfect Indicative

• Present Perfect Subjunctive will follow the same rules as Present Perfect Indicative: use it for something that has happened or what people have done
