has another way of using verbs called the subjunctive mood.

The Subjunctive ●We

use it to say what one person does or doesn’t want, tell, suggest, or recommend someone else to do.

The Subjunctive ●A

sentence that includes the subjunctive form has two parts connected by the word que. ●For example:

The Subjunctive ●Recomendamos

que Uds. hablen con un agente de viajes. ●We recommend that you speak with a travel agent.

The Subjunctive ●¿Quiere

Ud. que escribamos nuestros nombres en las maletas. ●Do you want us to write our names on our suitcases?

The Subjunctive ●Note

that the subjunctive sentences have two parts, each with a different subject, connected by the word que:
