The Spanish Subjunctive Explained


Book Description

The idea of creating The Spanish Subjunctive 100 Examples came to me after 30 years' experience teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language in my dear Costa Rica. The Spanish Subjunctive Mood is not as difficult to learn as it seems; nevertheless, The Spanish Subjunctive does require an extensive amount of work, dedication and practice on behalf of the student. Although teachers are often more than willing to spend a great amount of classroom time on providing students with activities to eventually master the Subjunctive in conversation, they are not always able to make such an effort due to time constraints coupled with deadlines to be met by every course in a traditional Spanish language School environment. It was with this in mind that CostaRica SpanishOnline began to create exclusive Spanish language teaching materials readily available for the independent learner and teachers as well. The Spanish Subjunctive 100 Examples provides easy, simple to understand explanations for the uses of The Present Subjunctive, in addition to one hundred examples translated from Spanish to English created by us, in order to illustrate how the Present Subjunctive as well as The Imperfect Subjunctive Mood and The Present Perfect Subjunctive are used.
