First, I will say some sentences in Spanish. I will say each sentence in two different ways &#8211; one using El Presente de Indicativo and one using El Presente de Subjuntivo \u2013 but only one will be correct. I would like you to tell me which sentence is the correct one:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pienso que hace mucho calor \/ Pienso que haga mucho calor<br \/>\nMe parece que tienes raz\u00f3n \/ Me parece que tengas raz\u00f3n<br \/>\nPara m\u00ed Madrid es una ciudad muy buena para vivir \/ Para m\u00ed Madrid sea una ciudad muy buena para vivir<br \/>\nNo creo que Ana va a venir \/ No creo que Ana vaya a venir<br \/>\nNo pienso que es tarde \/ No pienso que sea tarde<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Now, please give your opinion about the following statements using \u201cCreo que\u201d or \u201cNo creo que\u201d. For example, if I say \u201cHace calor\u201d if you agree with the sentence you should say \u201cCreo que hace calor\u201d and if not you should say \u201cNo creo que haga calor\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Madonna es la mejor cantante del mundo.<br \/>\nHablar espa\u00f1ol es muy divertido.<br \/>\nHoy hace mucho fr\u00edo.<br \/>\nEl chino es el idioma m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil.<br \/>\nNueva York es una ciudad muy interesante.<br \/>\nEs bueno para los ni\u00f1os ver la televisi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Let\u00b4s practice now the structure \u201cMe parece + adverb\/adjective + que\u201d when giving your opinion about the following statements. For example, if I say \u201cEsta camiseta cuesta 200 d\u00f3lares\u201d you could say \u201cMe parece incre\u00edble que esta camiseta cueste 200 d\u00f3lares\u201d. Other options you can use are \u201cMe parece repugnante\u201d, \u201cMe parece horrible\u201d, \u201cMe parece fant\u00e1stico\u201d, \u201cMe parece muy triste\u201d,..:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Muchos espa\u00f1oles no tienen trabajo.<br \/>\nSonia y Paco se van a divorciar.<br \/>\nAna y Alfredo se van a casar.<br \/>\nHe aprobado el examen.<br \/>\nMi amigo Pedro se ha enfadado conmigo y no me habla.<br \/>\nHay muchos accidentes de coche en verano.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Finally, let\u00b4s practice how to confirm that something is obvious to us using the expressions in the original theory video lesson. For example, if I say \u201cFumar es perjudicial para la salud\u201d, you could say \u201cEs evidente que fumar es malo para la salud\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Es muy dif\u00edcil encontrar trabajo ahora en Espa\u00f1a.<br \/>\nTenemos que practicar mucho si queremos hablar espa\u00f1ol bien.<br \/>\nSi llueve mucho, hay que salir con paraguas.<br \/>\nBeber mucho caf\u00e9 no es bueno para la salud.<\/p>\n<p>Esto es todo por hoy.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you are clearer now on how to use the Spanish Subjunctive with opinion. It is important not to wonder why some formulas need or do not need the use of the subjunctive. There is simply no set of concrete rules to follow. My advice is to practice as much as you can. Eventually you will memorize the correct way to construct the sentences and it will come as second nature when and when not to use the Spanish subjunctive.<\/p>\n<p>Que tengais un buen d\u00eda y hasta pronto!!!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you are enjoying my weekly interactive Spanish lessons.
