Practice using El Presente de Subjuntivo

1. First, let´s practice conjugating some regular Spanish verbs in El Presente de Subjuntivo with AR ending. I will say a person (yo, tú, usted etc) and a regular Spanish verb finishing in AR and I would like you to conjugate the verb in the correct way for the Spanish El Presente de Subjuntivo (For example: Yo / comer: coma)

Nosotros / trabajar
Usted /ayudar
Tú /hablar
Él /cortar
Ellos /dejar
Yo /desayunar
Ustedes /dibujar
Vosotros / escuchar

2. Now do the same with regular Spanish verbs finishing in ER:

Nosotros / leer
Usted /comprender
Tú / comer
Él / deber
Ellos /correr
Yo /coser
Ustedes / beber
Vosotros / comer

3. And now with regular Spanish verbs finishing in IR:

Usted / vivir
Ustedes /recibir
Yo /escribir
Nosotros / discutir
Vosotros /escribir
Él /vivir
Ellos /recibir
Tú / escribir

4. Finally, I am going to say a few Spanish verbs in the present tense. Some are in Subjuntivo (Subjunctive) and some in Indicativo (Indicative – the present tense you already know). Please tell me which ones are in Subjuntivo and which ones in Indicativo.

Compremos
Hablas
Comen
Escriba
Bailemos
Estudia
Leais
Bebas
Corran
Abras
Vivimos
Cortes

Bueno, pues esto es todo por hoy. This is all for today.

In the next practice lesson we will look at how to use irregular Spanish verbs with the Spanish El Presente de Subjuntivo and in the following lessons we will practice the type of sentences where you will have to use this grammar tense. For now, I recommend that you practice well all of the different verb endings for El Presente de Subjuntivo, as this is vital, even if you are not yet sure when to use the tense.
