First of all, we must read the instructions carefully to understand what we need to do.

In this activity, we are going to work with the subjunctive used to express one person´s emotion about someone or something else.

The sentences will be in the present tense of the subjunctive mood, used after emotion´s expressions from someone.

.

Let´s take a look at the subjunctive mood:

The verbs in subjunctive form follow the same rules as the **Ud.** and **Uds.** commands.

To form the present tense of the subjunctive, you have to do the next:

Find the **Yo** present tense form of the verb.
Drop the final **o**.

To the **-ar** verbs add an **-e** **-es**, **-e**, **-emos**, **-éis**, **-en**.
|Pronoun|Ending add|
|–|–|
|Yo |**-e** |
| Tú| **-es**|
|Él / Ella/ Eso |**-e** |
|Nosotros |**-emos** |
|Vosotros |**-éis** |
|Ellos / Ellas | **-en**|

**Example**:
– Habl**ar**.
Habl**o**.
Habl.

|Pronoun|Subjunctive|
|–|–|
|Yo |habl**e** |
| Tú| habl**es**|
|Él / Ella/ Eso |habl**e**|
|Nosotros |habl**emos** |
|Vosotros |habl**éis** |
|Ellos / Ellas | habl**en**|

To the **-er** and **-ir**verbs, add an **a**
|Pronoun|Subjunctive|
|–|–|
|Yo |**-a** |
| Tú| **-as**|
|Él / Ella/ Eso |**-a** |
|Nosotros |**-amos** |
|Vosotros |**-ais** |
|Ellos / Ellas | **-an**|

**Example**:
– Com**er**.
Com**o**.

|Yo |com**a** |
| Tú| com**as**|
|Él / Ella/ Eso |com**a**|
|Nosotros |com**amos** |
|Vosotros |com**áis**|
|Ellos / Ellas | com**an**|
