how do verbs of will and influence work in the subjunctive tense
when a subject of an independent clause exerts influence on subject of dependent clause, the verb in the dependent clause takes the subjunctive
ex ) yo quiero que tu vayas al cine conmigo.
when there is no change of subject
use the infinitive, and the que is unessesary
infinitive vs subjunctive sentence
infinitive: i want to go in march
subjunctive: i prefer you go in march
