**[03:44:34]** I'll be presenting sentences that are only in the present subjunctive in my two previous videos I explained the subjunctive in Spanish along with the types of verbs that are used in the present subjunctive in case you don't remember the construction subject verb K

> **[on-screen 03:44:44]**
> subject/verb/que/subject/verb main clause que/subject/verb

**[03:44:45]** subject verb or a main Clause K subject verb is the typical phrase that you will see in the subjunctive however to activate the subjunctive the first verb

> **[on-screen 03:44:53]**
> WEIRD subject/verb/que/subject/verb main clause que/subject/verb

**[03:44:53]** must come from weird and these are the

> **[on-screen 03:44:54]**
> Verbs that activate the subjunctive: (the first verb in the sentence, coming from W.E.!.R.D) Wilk Emotion: ¢ Preferir - to prefer ¢ Esperar - to hope ¢ Necesitar - to need © Gustar - to be pleased © Querer - to want ¢ Tener miedo - to be afraid Influence: Recommendation: * Desear - to wish/to desire * Aconsejar - to advise ¢ Insistir (en) - to insist (on) ¢ Sugerir - to suggest ¢ Recomendar - to recommend Doubt/Disbelief/Denial: ¢ Dudar - to doubt « Negar - to deny © No pensar - to not think

**[03:44:55]** most common weird verbs which I've shown in the previous videos instead of using every verb I'll be showing one useful

> **[on-screen 03:45:00]**
> Verbs that activate the subjunctive: (the first verb in the sentence, coming from W.E.!.R.D) Will: Emotion: ¢ Querer - to want Esperar - to hope influence: Recommendation: © Desear - to wish/to desire ¢ Recomendar - to recommend Doubt/Disbelief/Denial: © Dudar - to doubt

**[03:45:00]** sentence using a different pronoun and one verb from each category to demonstrate sentences in the present subjunctive let's take the following

> **[on-screen 03:45:06]**
> Verbs that activate the subjunctive: (the first verb in the sentence, coming from W.E.!.R.D) ¢ Will - Yo quiero que sujeto/verbo ¢ Emotion - Tu esperas que sujeto/verbo e Influence - Ella desea que sujeto/verbo ¢ Recommendation - Recomendamos que sujeto/verbo ¢ Doubt/Disbelief/Denial - Ellos dudan que sujeto/verbo

**[03:45:07]** phrases y subject verb to verb and these are the sentences that I'll utilize throughout the video the first verbs in these cases all activate the present subjunctive and match their pronouns the second part however is any form of the subjunctive consisting of any subject and any verb but in this case it's in the present just to let you know when I'll be showing these sentences in context I'll use the system of conjugation for every type of verb that I showed in the previous video without actually saying what type of verb I'm using to make practice more legit in case you don't remember you can always watch the previous video and one last thing that I can add is that sometimes I'll be implementing other Spanish Concepts in a few main Clauses just to make practice more beneficial now let's begin with the following phrases and work backwards take a look

> **[on-screen 03:45:53]**
> Yo quiero que tu estudies espanol

**[03:45:53]** at this phrase y Estus espanol this phrase is already in Spanish with two

> **[on-screen 03:45:59]**
> Yo quiero que tu estudies espanol

**[03:45:59]** Estus being the subject and the verb and with estud being an AR verb that is conjugated for the two pronoun in the present subjunctive how would you say this phrase in English now here we have two options first if you want to visually translate the sentence then you can say I want

> **[on-screen 03:46:14]**
> Yo quiero que tu estudies espanol | want that you study Spanish

**[03:46:15]** that you study Spanish but it doesn't really make sense to say that even though it technically works on the other hand the second option is more logical in English but it doesn't work visually in Spanish I want you to study Spanish

> **[on-screen 03:46:24]**
> Yo quiero que tu estudies espanol | want that you study Spanish | want you to study Spanish

**[03:46:25]** using a complete infinitive to study while it doesn't matter which phrase you say because both are correct I'll focus

> **[on-screen 03:46:31]**
> Yo quiero que tu estudies espanol | want that you study Spanish | want you to study Spanish

**[03:46:31]** on both of them because we'll sometimes have cases when the two sentences can be applied making it logical and practical how would you say this phrase I want him

> **[on-screen 03:46:37]**
> | want him to use it

**[03:46:38]** to use it

> **[on-screen 03:46:41]**

**[03:50:27]** concept of the present subjunctive comes to an end even though the phrases in this video were sort of one-dimensional and sometimes not that relevant my goal was just to present the system of the present subjunctive at the end of the day it's up to you to make make any sentence that you want using any subject and any verb because this is how you're supposed to think whenever you learn new language Concepts even though some sentences did not make sense my goal was to give the idea of the present subjunctive and from there you could have said anything that you wanted and it will be the same idea for the next tenses of the subjunctive I could have extended the video by talking about the present subjunctive using different
