When expressing conjecture or probability in English we use: I wonder, I bet, must be, may, might, and probably. How is this accomplished in Spanish?

A

By using the future of probability.

  • estar (¿Dónde estarán mis llaves? - I wonder where my keys are?; Estarán en la cocina. - They’re probably in the kitchen.)
  • ser (¿Qué hora será? - What time can it be?(I wonder what time it is?); Serán las once o las doce. - It must be (It’s probably) eleven or twelve.

118
Q

To express something that will have happened by some future point in time we use?

A
  • para + [time expression]
    (Para el lunes, habré hecho todas las preparaciones.)
    (By Monday, I will have made all the preparations.)

-dentro de + [time expression]
(Dentro de un año, habré renunciado a mi trabajo.)
(Within a year, I will have resigned from my job.)

119
Q

End; ending

A

finales

120
Q

What are the past subjunctive verb endings? (They are the same for all verbs)

A

yo - ra, tú - ras, Ud./él/ella - ra, nosotros/as - ramos (don’t forget to add the accent to the last vowel preceeding -ramos) [habláramos], vosotros/as - rais, Uds./ellos/ellas - ran

121
Q

How is the past subjunctive formed?

A

-For all verbs:
First, by using the Uds./ellos/ellas form of the preterite. Then, by dropping the -ron ending you establish the stem of all past subjunctive forms. Finally, you add the past subjunctive endings to form the past subjunctive forms.

  • For verbs with irregular preterites
    Add the past subjunctive ending to the irregular stem
    (dar [infinitive] - dieron [preterite form] - diera [past subjunctive])
  • For -ir stem changing verbs and other verbs with spelling changes follow a similar process to form the past subjunctive
    (oír [infinitive] - oyeron [preterite form] - oyera [past subjunctive])
