In this video you will learn the present subjunctive with doubt, denial and disbelief in Spanish.
The present subjunctive is a mood. The subjunctive cannot stand by itself. It depends on verbs of will/want, emotions, denial, doubt, desire, impersonal expressions, negation, general expressions, God, ojalá. It happens on the subordinate clause.
There are regular verbs, irregular verbs, stem-changing verbs. There are also spelling changes.
To remember the subjunctive you can make use of the following acronyms: WEDDING or WEIRDO.
WEDDING=W-stands for Wish/Want/Will, E for emotion, D for desire, doubt, denial, I for impersonal expressions, and G for God; and WEIRDO=W for Wish/Want/Will; E for emotions, I for impersonal expressions, D for denial/desire/doubt, and O for ojalá.
Any time you see Ojalá you will use the subjunctive. An expression now meaning hopefully in Spanish comes from the Arabic "إن شاء الله - 'in sha' allh" meaning God Willing; a prayer to God/Allah. Large parts of Spain were conquer by Muslims invaders from North Africa from 711-1492AD. Only the very far northern Christian Kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula remained independent. As a result of this 800 year occupation we have many words in Spanish that have their origin in Arabic
The subjunctive will apply provided that it follows the subjunctive rule
A+ verb (denial, doubt) + que + B + verb (subjunctive)
Remember the subjunctive is hypothetical, it might happen, it is uncertainty.
Dudo que ellos ____(venir) a la fiesta.
A=YO (implied by dudo)
this verb implies doubt
B= ellos
So this sentence check off parts required for the subjunctive
Dudo que ellos vengan (venir) a la fiesta.
(I doubt that they will come to the party.)
The verbs: creer (to believe); pensar (to think) and estar seguro/a (to be sure)
will require the indicative as they are 100% certain in Spanish.
However if you make them negative then, they will require the subjunctive form.
Mi novio piensa que su mamá es (ser) amable.
A=novio
verb=piensa (thinks) =certainty
B= Mamá
this is sentence is 100% certain so we use the indicative.
vs.
Su mamá no cree que ellos sean amables.
A=su mamá
verb= no cree (negation/uncertainty/denial)
B= ellos
Since this sentence is now uncertain/denying/negating
then it will now need the use of the subjunctive.
