Notes:
- The written lesson is below.
- Links to quizzes, tests, etc. are to the left.
In Part I, you learned that the subjunctive mood is used whenever the speaker feels uncertain about the action of the sentence, or when the speaker is expressing a subjective opinion.
In Part II, you learned the basic rules for conjugating regular verbs and stem-changing verbs.
You learned that -ar verbs take the endings:
-e, -es, -e, -emos, -éis, -en
And -er and -ir verbs take the endings:
-a, -as, -a, -amos, -áis, -an
In Part III, you learned how to conjugate verbs in the present subjunctive that change orthographically.
