SpnVerbSubjunctive2

Subjunctive endings and irregulars

QuestionAnswer
For most verbs, the present subjunctive is formed by following these three steps: 1. Start with the yo form of the present indicative. 2. Then drop the -o ending. 3. Finally, add the following endings: -ar verbs: -e, -es, -e, -emos, -éis, -en -er and -ir verbs: -a, -as, -a, -amos, -áis, -an
Regular -ar verbs like hablar (yo hablo). hablo - o
Regular -er verbs like comer (yo como). como - o
Regular -ir verbs like vivir (yo vivo). vivo - o
The formula also works for verbs that have irregular "yo" forms in the present indicative. Study these examples:
Conocer conocer (yo conozco) conozco - o
tener tener (yo tengo) tengo - o
salir salir (yo salgo) salgo - o
For -ar and -er stem-changing verbs, the formula applies except that there is no stem change in the nosotros and vosotros forms. Study these examples:
Pensar pensar (yo pienso) pienso - o
perder perder (yo pierdo) pierdo - o
contar contar (yo cuento) cuento - o
volver volver (yo vuelvo) vuelvo - o
For -ir stem-changing verbs, the formula applies except that the stem change in the nosotros and vosotros forms follows these patterns: o:ue verbs change o to u; e:ie verbs change e to i; e:i verbs change e to i. Study these examples:
Dormir dormir (yo duermo) duermo - o
sentir sentir (yo siento) siento - o
pedir pedir (yo pido) pido - o
Present Subjunctive – hablar hable hables hable hablemos habléis hablen
Present Subjunctive – comer coma comas coma comamos comáis coman
Present Subjunctive – vivir viva vivas viva vivamos viváis vivan
Present Subjunctive - verbs with irregular first persons in present indicative conocer - conozca, conozcas, conozca, conozcamos, conozcáis, conozcan tener - tenga, tengas, tenga, tengamos, tengáis, tengan salir - salga, salgas, salga, salgamos, salgáis, salgan
Present Subjunctive - -ar and -er stem-changing verbs Conjugate just like regular subjunctives (using "yo" form of the indicative) except the stem change does not occur in the nosotros/vosotros forms: pensar piense pienses piense pensemos penséis piensen
Present Subjunctive - -ir stem-changing verbs Conjugate just like regular subjunctives except the stem change in the nosotros and vosotros forms follows these patterns: o:ue verbs change o to u; e:ie verbs change e to i; e:i verbs change e to i.: dormir - durmamos sentir - sintamos pedir – pidam
Here are the six verbs that are irregular in the present subjunctive:
dar - to give dé des dé demos deis den
estar - to be esté estés esté estemos estéis estén
haber - to have (auxiliary verb) haya hayas haya hayamos hayáis hayan
ir - to go vaya vayas vaya vayamos vayáis vayan
