for example:
creo que es la verdad but when you make it negative:
no creo que sea la verdad... sea is the subjunctive....
si tuviera rico - if i was rich
but because in reality i am not rich and it is conditional tense, i use imperfect subjunctive....
i know it doesnt help... because it nearly took my 1 year to learn it
someone correct me if i am wrong:SΕίναι τα αισθήματα μου σαν θηρία ανήμερα, κι ούτε ξέρω πως τ' αντέχω και τα συγκρατώ. -

Thanks nice try but maybe I wouldn't be confused if you gave me a few examples about 'vaya' and 'voy' cuz I really need to know. Originally Posted by seydarr

let me try one with 'voy' as well Originally Posted by Berna
es muy obvio que voy al colegio - its very obvious i go to school
no es obvio que vaya al colegio - its not obvious that i go to school
mi madre quiere que yo vaya al colegio - my mum wants me to go to school
wish of someone affects a second person so instead of 'voy' i use 'vaya'.
no conozco a nadie que vaya al colegio - i know no one who goes to school
quiénquiera que vaya al colegio - whoever goes to school
as there is no one specific, it can be anyone: so use subjunctive.
i know it wont help that much as well but at least ive used 'vaya'

Hey, all your examples for the subjuctive are perfect! Good job only one correction: If I were rich - si fuera/fuese rico...

Good job only one correction: If I were rich - si fuera/fuese rico... gracias por tu corrección (i made this word up just now) so if i say, si tuviera la oportunidad... my teacher always told me to recognise 'se' endings but not to use them as they are more latinoamericano so when you said 'fuese' i was in a little confusion but got the idea now
muchas gracias

Hi
Those endings are very easy: you just swap the "-ra" for "-se":
si supiera/supiese
si pudiera/pudiese
si dijera/dijese....etc.
I'd never heard before that "-se" is more latin american; but I'm not an expert on that so it may be true. But oi, tell your teacher there are more latin americans than spaniards in the world!!

lol. i learned spanish from novelas (yeah i know Originally Posted by seydarr

) but some years ago at school i had to choose some extra clases, and the options were spanish and romanian literature, so i chose spanish (ive studied romanian literature anyway in the normal ones 
). and as most as my classmates i already knew spanish (the latino american one ) and the teacher was always telling us to not use certain words from the same reason as seydar's teacher. lol they have smth with latin america
-
despite they tell us not to use 'se' i love south american accent more as it is easier to understand... and i already pronounce most of the words with south american accent like 'yo' and 'ya' etc. compared to southern spanish accent (where i think they speak like a machine gun Originally Posted by kmmy

and one thing: is it only different in imperfect subjunctive... as far as i remember there was no difference in present subjunctive...
muchas gracias por tu ayuda

that makes sense, but i would use toy de moda too. actually, i would say yo toy alante, but i haven't heard anybody outside of RD say that, so we'll just go with estoy de moda :P Originally Posted by citlalli
