Q

Parts of a Subjunctive Phrase

A

There are three main parts to a subjunctive sentence:

  1. Two Different Subjects

There will be one subject in the main/independent clause, and one in the noun/dependent clause.

  1. Two Verbs: One WEIRDO and One Subjunctive

There will be one indicative verb in the main/independent clause which will indicate the need for the Subjunctive (a WEIRDO verb) and a second verb in the noun/dependent clause which will be in the Subjunctive.

  1. A Relative Pronoun (Que, Quien, Como)

This pronoun links the two clauses and can translate to mean “that,” but is often not translated at all into English.
