Present subjunctive
[edit | edit source]The subjunctive mood is often used to say that one person influences the actions of another. Note that the subjunctive sentences have two parts, each with a different subject connected by the word que.
ex.Ella sugiere que yo aprenda español.
The first part uses the present indicative verb (recommendation, suggestion, etc.) + que, and the second part uses the present subjunctive verb (what should happen).
The present subjunctive is formed the same way as negative tú commands and all Ud./Uds. commands. Drop the -o of the present-tense yo form and add the present-tense subjunctive endings.

Cultural insight (Los Códices)
[edit | edit source]Explorers have discovered that the Incas of South America drew pictures of their travels of new places on walls of caves throughout the Andes in Peru. Some pictures show local people and their cities and others show royalty and lifestyles of the new land. These were called códices.
