Q

I doubt that you are going to Peru in December.

A

The subjunctive mood is used to express everything except certainty and objectivity: things like doubt, uncertainty, subjectivity, etc. - vaya

Dudo que usted vaya al Perú en diciembre.

90
Q

indicative vs subjunctive

A

The difference between indicative and subjunctive is the difference between certainty/objectivity (indicative) and possibility/subjectivity (subjunctive).

91
Q

Indicative

A

John goes to the store.
(This sentence merely states the certain, objective fact that John goes to the store.)

I know that John goes to the store.
(The clause “I know” tells us that the speaker feels that it is a certain, objective fact that John goes to the store.)

There is no doubt that John goes to the store.
(The clause “there is no doubt” tells us that the speaker feels that it is a certain, objective fact that John goes to the store.)

92
Q

Subjunctive

A

want John to go to the store.
(The clause “I want” tells us that the speaker feels that there is uncertainty as to whether John goes to the store.)

I hope that John goes to the store.
(The clause “I hope” tells us that the speaker feels that there is uncertainty as to whether John goes to the store.)

It is possible that John will go to the store.
(The clause “it is possible” tells us that the speaker feels that there is uncertainty as to whether John goes to the store.)

It’s good that John goes to the store.
(The clause “it’s good” alerts us that the speaker is about to express a subjective opinion.)

It’s important that John goes to the store.
(The clause “it’s important” alerts us that the speaker is about to express a subjective opinion.)

93
Q

list of expressions with which the subjunctive is not used

A

Since these expressions introduce a quality of certainty, they do not trigger the use of the subjunctive.

If you encounter a sentence with a main clause followed by a second clause, and the main clause introduces a quality of certainty or objectivity, the sentence will use the indicative mood in the second clause, since the sentence will be reporting something certain.

creer que …
to believe that …

no dudar que …
to not doubt that …

es cierto que …
it is certain that …

es claro que …
it is clear that …

es evidente que …
it is certain that …

es obvio que …

es verdad que …

no cabe duda que …
there’s no doubt that …

94
