El subjuntivo con DIE

El subjuntivo con DIE

​

Vamos a repasar un poco...

Multiple Select

Cuando hablamos de gramática, hay 3 modos (moods) en español. ¿Cuáles son?

• el modo indicativo

• el modo subjuntivo

• el modo imperativo

• el modo pasivo

Multiple Choice

In language, "mood" has to do with...

• whether a person is in a good mood or bad mood. (Jury's still out on that one, Sra. What's up with this February weather, anyway?)

• the way a person regards an action or state that he/she expresses.

Multiple Select

So, the indicative mood has to do with...

• facts

• attitudes / what the speaker views as uncertain or hypothetical

Multiple Select

By contrast, the subjunctive mood has to do with...

• the speaker's attitude toward events

• actions or states that the speaker views as real or definite

• actions or states that the speaker views as uncertain or hypothetical

Espera, espera...

What's all this talk about "main clauses" and "dependent clauses"? I vaguely remember reading something about that in the homework...

​

Multiple Choice

¿Qué es una cláusula (clause)?

A clause is...

• a bunch of random words.

• a subject and a conjugated verb.

In both Spanish and English...

a MAIN clause is also known as an INDEPENDENT clause.

Similarly, a DEPENDENT clause is also known as a SUBORDINATE clause.

​

In the cosmic, moral sense?

​

No, por supuesto que no. Pero para comprender el tema del subjuntivo, sí.

Multiple Choice

So, let's make sure we understand this FORMULA...

If there is DIE in the main clause of a sentence, the verb in the dependent clause must be SUBJUNCTIVE. It's as if the presence of DIE "TRIGGERS" the use of the subjunctive.

• CIERTO

• FALSO

Multiple Choice

In a complex sentence (ie, a sentence that has more than one clause), QUE "connects" the main clause and the dependent clause.

• CIERTO

• FALSO

Multiple Choice

An "impersonal expression" is an expression that begins with "ES". Por ejemplo, "Es bueno.... / Es importante... / Es absurdo..."

• CIERTO

• FALSO

Multiple Choice

It's possible to use the SUBJUNCTIVE in the main clause of a sentence. (ej: "Ella quiera que...")

• CIERTO

• FALSO

Never use the subjunctive in the main clause!

(the subjunctive NEVER goes before the QUE...it can only be in the DEPENDENT CLAUSE)

​

Multiple Choice

So we know that the presence of DIE in the main clause "TRIGGERS" the subjunctive in the dependent clause.

However, there ALSO has to be a subject change (ie, the subject in the dependent clause has to be different than the subject in the main clause) for there to be SUBJUNCTIVE in the dependent clause.

• CIERTO

• FALSO

Now, let's take a look at the different verbs and impersonal expressions that trigger the use of the subjunctive with DIE.
