Recap: What is the Subjunctive?

1. The subjunctive is considered a 'mood' in Spanish and it conveys the uncertainty of the speaker about the things they're saying.

   1. Ex: Es posible que tengas razón. It's possible that you're right.

2. It is used to talk about future events that may or may not happen.

   1. Ex: Quiero que me leas un libro. I want you to read me a book.

4. A relative pronoun que (which, that) or quien (who, that) introduces the subjunctive clause.

   1. Ex: Dudo que él sea quien lo haya hecho. I doubt that he is the one that has done it.

5. The verb in the main clause must be one of the WEIRDO verbs.
