First I will say a few sentences expressing opinion in Spanish. I will repeat each twice: one time using a verb in indicative and the other in subjunctive. You should repeat the correct one. For example, if I say \u201cEs innegable que este libro es muy bueno\u201d and \u201cEs innegable que este libro sea muy bueno\u201d. The correct one is the first choice, as \u201cEs innegable que\u201d is an expression used to state facts, so always needs a verb in indicative after the word \u201cque\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Es l\u00f3gico que est\u00e1s cansado \/ Es l\u00f3gico que est\u00e9s cansado.<br \/>\nEs cierto que hace calor \/ Es cierto que haga calor.<br \/>\nEs seguro que voy a volver \/ Es seguro que vaya a volver.<br \/>\nEst\u00e1 claro que est\u00e1 mal \/ Est\u00e1 claro que est\u00e9 mal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Next, please translate the following sentences stating facts from English to Spanish:<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s undeniable that this restaurant is very good.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s demonstrated that this cleaner is the best.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s undoubtable that life is a mystery.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s obvious that you should read the instructions.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s sure that we need to talk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Now, please translate the following sentences making evaluations from English to Spanish:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important that you talk to your sister.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s unfair that the teacher helps him.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s likely that tomorrow it is going to rain.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s normal that you feel tired.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s sad that you are not going to see her ever again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Finally, I will say some sentences in Spanish and I would like you to tell me if the use of the Spanish Subjunctive is correct or not:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Es una pena que no puedas venir con nosotros.<br \/>\nEst\u00e1 claro que sea muy divertido.<br \/>\nEs verdad que tenga mucho fr\u00edo.<br \/>\nEs triste que no recuerdes a tu abuelo.<br \/>\nEs vergonzoso que no arregl\u00e9is vuestros problemas.<\/p>\n<p>Bueno, pues esto es todo por hoy.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you have enjoyed practicing the important topics in this review lesson. If you are not always sure if an opinion is stating a fact or making an evaluation, don\u00b4t worry too much. The most straightforward way not to make mistakes is to memorize which expressions use indicative and which ones use subjunctive.<\/p>\n<p>Que pas\u00e9is una buena semana.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Adi\u00f3s!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you are enjoying my weekly interactive Spanish lessons.
