Out of all the videos I’ve seen regarding the present subjunctive, your list of subjunctive triggers is the most comprehensive. Very helpful. Many thanks.
Hi! Tener is not irregular in subjunctive, but the base is "I do" in present, so if any verb is irregular in present tense it's going to show that: Tengo- tenga. Same with imperfect subjunctive, and its base from preterite ;)
@@Vivatutor Thank you so much for your reply. I was getting confused, but have now realised that I was not just using the "I do", but was trying to use it as tú tienas, which I can see now is clearly wrong. Thanks again for clarifying, your videos are really helping me so much :-)
Hola , Do verbs such as preocuparse, sorprenderse and agradarse also use the de in the same way as alegrarse, for example "me preocupo de que el no esté aqui", or would you just say "me preocupo que el no esté aqui" . Also, what about sentences with tengo miedo, would you say "tengo miedo de que el esté aqui"? Also, following on from the above, I know that if you say "me alegra que estés aqui" you don´t need to use the de, but is that because it is not reflexive? if that is the case, would we say "le alegra que estés aqui" or "se alegra que estés aqui" Sorry for all the questions, but I am so confused :-) Gracias
Good question! Yes, you will keep that "de", or "a" or any other prepositions that go with the verb in any tense and also in subjunctive mood "me preocupo de que él no esté aquí". When you say "me alegra que.../me preocupa que..." you don't use the "de" just because the way you phrase is "IT makes me happy/IT worries me..." rather than "I am happy that../I worry that...". It's true that the "me" in the first case is pronominal and in the second is indirect object but that's not a factor for using the "de" or not, as "de" is not a pronoun ;)
Thank you so much for your videos. I have learned a lot. In English the present indicative is not always used for the subjunctive. There are a few exceptions. Hay una reunión manaña, es importante que tú estés allá. There is a meeting tomorrow. It is important that you be there. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_subjunctive. There are more examples, specifically in the third person singular. Also in the past tense a unique form sometimes exists. For example. Si fuera rico iría a París. If I were rich, I would go to Paris. I would go is the conditional just like in Spanish. Si fuera rica is translated into English using a unique subjunctive form. The present tense in English is I am. The simple past tense in English is I was. It is not translated as either. It is translated as I were. Curiously this form of the verb to be is related the the third person plural of the preterite in English which is they were. Just like in Spanish. Thanks so much for your lessons I have learned a lot. Please continue. If you need contributions, let me know how to send. Thanks. Take care.
