Present Subjunctive in Spanish (Forms)

[michaelawonton]

GRACIAS!

[mrstsgibbons]

Thank you for your videos. I'm a high school language teacher and I use your vidoes all of the time to introduce grammar rules. :)

[akemikat]

Is it correct that the ONLY IRREGULAR FORMS (That cannot be taken from conjugating the indicative yo form) in the subjunctive are dar, ser, ir, estar and saber?

[prettyrickyxx3]

i have been in spanish for four years and could never understand the subjunctive. now it all seems so clear! thanks!

[TheOkami1113]

I'm sorry, but when I saw the 'J' instead of a 'T' for tener, I flipped.

[Nessemut]

OMG Es Julian Assange? xDDDD

[MissGloria95]

Life saver-have a test on this tomorrow. Gracias!

[monika28400]

[soccerruben1]

@monika28400 La razón por la que no hablan español en este vídeo es que es ayudar a las personas que tienen problemas con el español espero que usted entienda esta

[monika28400]

@soccerruben1 Si , gracias por su respuesta, si entendi.Tiene razon si hace los lecciones solo por ellos que hablan englez.yo creo que es mejor explificar en espanol(pues subjunctivo es el tema para estudiantes de nivel intermedio- como yo.Muchas gracias por ayudarme !

[soccerruben1]

@monika28400 de nada :)

[ART1025MXL]

@monika28400 la leccion/las lecciones "por ellos" = by them "para ellos" = to them Ingles= English.

[ART1025MXL]

@soccerruben1 Allow me to correct you. La razon por la cual no habla Español (el pofesor) en este video es para ayudar a las personas que tienen problemas con Español. Espero que usted entienda.

[soccerruben1]

@ART1025MXL okay, Gracias!

I understand Spanish rather than speaking it, cuz I mess up sometimes

[KorexeroK]

Great one. Thanks a lot from Guatemala!

[ChrisHardley]

How come you never put the you plural endings of verbs?

Ais and Eis for the subjunctive no?

Is it because you studied South American Spanish? as I understand it's only Spain that uses You Plural?

[Nikes62]

Your "T" looks like a "J", sir!

[edi3love]

what is the difference between irregular ans stem chanigng verbs? thanks

[sueali100]

Once again you have got my Spanish sorted! I understand it much more clearly with your help. Thank you so much.

[soccerruben1]

@KaylasbChannel why,does "professor jason" is not helping you?

[jbostick8929]

i learned more from your ten minute video then i have in three years of college spanish. thank you.

[aboyce69]

I have just started this tense with my spanish teacher. This video is very informative and easy to follow. Thank you.

[TheSilverMagnolia]

these lessons are so so good! muchas gracias!

[davecpd2566]

The lessons are awesome, jason Clear, easy to follow, great stuff, keep them coming. Thanks.

[dancehallreport]

Ok so I fully understood your lesson. Which makes it clear that I am capable of learning spanish, my problem is my teacher does not explain very well.

[natuls16]

This is helping me study for my subjunctive quiz! Thank you so much!

[megajam02]

I've enjoyed your lessons. They are very informative and an excellent supplement to my books and audio courses. Please keep them coming!

By the way, I'm sure you've heard it a million times, but you look just like Colin Mochrie of 'Who's Line Is It Anyway'. :)

[geezwhycantifindanam]

question: so you never use the subjunctive at the beginning of a sentence since it is part of the dependent clause is that correct?

[languagenow]

@geezwhycantifindanam only is for some odd reason, the sentence were arranged with that clause at the beginning, or is a partial command form (independent clause implied): Que vengan más tarde. (Quiero que vengan más tarde). Good question.

[WhiteKnighT161]

and thanks for this really helped me a lot! got confused with it at first now its pretty clear. thanks again. :D

[morning909]

thanks

[TehGenesis]

This was so much more helpful than my textbook. Thanks.

[52dalibor]

rare calm and clarity. excellent.

[husohome]

I LOOOOVE your hand-writing!!!

[saikiranra]

Thank you very much,

I learned a lot from the video and it helped me on my test.

Thanks!

[belabambina]

You're lessons really are SO useful, its amazing how something that first appears to be so confusing can actually be so simple when taught by such a brilliant teacher.

Thankyou for helping so much.

Jessica.

[karlieanne2002]

Good lesson. To conqueror those crazy Spanish verbs I invented a board game called: Verb It. There's a video explaining the game here on Youtube and it's online at: verbitgame. There are also online verb quizzes. Saludos Carolina F.

[adcenterbaka]

very good job! :)

liked a lot

[chriskennefudge]

Thank you for this video, I found it very helpful, your explanations are clear and easy to understand. Much obliged. :)

[ryhando]

Did you forget the irregular "haber" =haya?

One tool that helped me is that they all rhyme:

vaya, haya

sea, vea

sepa, quepa

de, este

[fbplayer232]

Your teaching explains Spanish better than other resources. Thank-you for making my high school Spanish experience enjoyable.

[mendelievium]

amazing, in ten minutes you've helped me to understand what I spent two hours struggling over on languages online =-)

[confusion94]

are those the only irregular in the subjunctive

[HanzSygnal]

solid job professor jason

[dudoliver3]

You honestly help me understand this so much more than when my Spanish IV honors teacher explained it. You are saving me on my exam tomorrow over this material.

[filmaholic730]

@dudoliver3 lol... he is beast at teaching!

[mdgoodwin614]

why is e "opposite" from a?

"opposite" is quite confusing

[filmaholic730]

@mdgoodwin614 -AR verbs are considered the opposite of -ER verbs (for example CAMINAR and VOLVER)

[mdgoodwin614]

okay, but then why is it still "opposite" for an ir verb? I'm not trying to be difficult, but when I hear "opposite" I can really only think of two options instead of three...

[peaceandlove25]

i want you to live ::chuckle:: of course.

like that.

[Kunichiro]

Te felicito "languagenow". Ha de ser muy difícil enseñar el subjuntivo a los anglohablantes. De sólo pensar en ello, me abrumo... Al principio, pensaba que tu explicación era muy esquemática y gramatical, pero ahora me doy cuenta que es necesaria porque permite la reflexión gramatical para que el estudiante comprenda la lógica detrás de todo este modo verbal. ¡Y eso que sólo estás explicando el presente del subjuntivo!

[TheEde505]

Esto clase de espanol es buenisimo!

[ssips720]

professor jason.. i can not tell u how much your lessons are saving my grade.. right now.!

it is so hard to understand my span teacher but u are actually making sense of this!!

thank you!! and please continue with many more spanish lessons

[tjyui]

its like "viva españa"...you dont say "vive" españa"

[luisrocket2009]

when I had this lesson in Cuba I didn't understand anything.

[chatterbox123hi]

i swear, i didnt even UNDERSTAND THAT AT ALL! i might just be dumb at it! lol.. i can learn by myself but unable to learn while watching him do it and go on about it and his formula!

[joulukk]

ES verdad que ÉL TIENE mucha inteligencia.

NO ES verdad que ÉL TENGA mucha inteligencia.

[joulukk]

YO CREO que ÉL VENDRÁ / VIENE el miércoles.

YO NO CREO que ÉL VENGA el miércoles,

[joulukk]

YO QUIERO que TÚ HAYAS APROBADO el curso cuando YO HAYA REGRESADO de mi viaje al extranjero,

YO QUIERO que LA CASA ESTÉ limpia cuando YO REGRESE.

[joulukk]

YO busco un perro que LADRA. (un perro conocido, determinado).

YO busco un perro que LADRE (un perro indeterminado, desconocido).

[joulukk]

YO quiero / querré ir a mi casa.

YO quiero / querré que TÚ vayas a mi casa.

YO quería / quise ir a mi casa.

YO quería / quise que TÚ fueras (o fueses) a mi casa.

[kashman92]

why cant you be my Spanish teacher, my school sucks

[kungfufreak360]

yeah my spanish teacher is terrible

[Fireman58FD]

As much information as I have found on subjunctive, the way you explain how to conjugate these blew everything else out of the water, amazing professor.

[hshawmsw]

You are an excellent teacher!

[Poordeadmouse]

Thank you so much. Very helpful. Have a final this week with this being a large part of it. It definitely helps to clear up some questions!!! TY!

[Pursuman]

Es verdad

¿Por qué omite la segunda persona del plural?

[oidualclaudi0]

Porque en todos los países, excepto en España, la segunda persona del plural es ustedes, y sus conjugaciones coinciden con la de la tercera persona del plural (ellos/as)

[moicest]

porque el español ha cambiado mucho, sufrió cambios(en españa) pero las personas que llegarona américa no hicieron esos cambios en la estructura del idioma por eso en américa existen diferencias formas fonéticas y estructurales

[amandahackman]

just a quick question, i notice that you never write the conjugate the verbs in the 'vosotros' form. why is this?

[halobattle360]

its irrelevant, only used in spain

[wirta022]

what if i'm going to spain?

[themachinegunn]

i understand your point they show this form anyway...i learn a little of vosotros and im in colombia

[y0utube11111]

Good job...now can we please get the video about the usage of the subjunctive please? Thanks.

[ScientiaVeritasEtLux]

Hi Jason,

I was just wondering, what is the tense in which either 'ra' or 'se' is added to the end of a root verb? I seem to recall a tense that I learned last year in which this was done, but I don't remember what it was called or what its translation would be. And if you haven't posted a video on this tense yet (I haven't finished watching all of your videos yet, and I probably should before asking this but whatever n_n ) then could you please post one whenever you get the chance?

[Slapazoid]

I am not sure about "ra", but "se" attached to the end of an infinitive implies that the verb is reflexive. This is not a tense; rather, it means that the subject is performing the action on it self. For example: bañarse (to take a bath) is the infinitive form of a reflexive verb.

To say "He bathes himself": (El) se baña.

To say "I bathe myself": (Yo) me baña.

I hope this helps. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

[masagavid]

I think you are asking for

1 "Imperfect Subjuctive"

which in a frase would be:

-Yo quise que ella hablara.

or

-Yo quise que ella hablase.

But to properly use this mode I think you should go through "Present Subjunctive" and understand how it works, then, It will be a piece of cake! Well...that's what I think.

Hope this help. ; )

[ScientiaVeritasEtLux]

Thank you 8-)

[No0n3y]

that was really useful i like how you use the board really good way of teaching the good ol way !

thanks !!

[30andalusi70spaniard]

el subjuntivo y el montón de formas verbales que pueden darse enrreda a cualquiera, mucho mas a los angloparlantes que tienen una lengua tan simple, y tan pocas formas verbales.

jajaja me gustaría ver cómo pronunciarían el pretérito pluscuamperfecto,en modo subjuntivo del verbo haber, demasiado... jajajaja

[BEVERYCUMMINS]

Very helpful and I don't feel like an idiot practicing and repeating things.

[ReachMyNetwork]

thank you for lessons

[JerZeeBoi91]

There is one error- in the conjugation of "dar" only the yo and the el/ella/ud. form has an accent, not all of them.

[Tinkerkitty09]

BETTER EXPLANATION THAN MY AP CLASS!!

[Rytawi]

This is an excellent supplement to my SPN 201 class!

[languagenow]

Gracias, Ryan. Tell all your friends to subscribe!

[MarcioNSantos]

Looks just like portuguese, isn´t it? I mean.. the same rule.

eu quero que você aprenda/fale/coma/viva.

eu quero que você saia/tenha.

eu quero que você pense/volte.

eu quero que você dê/seja/vá/esteja/saiba.

[languagenow]

caro amigo, exato, a mesma regra! obrigado por assistir e sempre comentar! abraços

[barsorro]

Thank you both very much! :)

[barsorro]

Brilliant!... Now all I've gotta do is find another Professor Jason who teaches (Brazilian) Portuguese ;););)

[barsorro]

No, of course you don't need to... :) _I_ need to fight laziness and learn from what's available on the internet about the Portuguese grammar... instead of just longing to sit back and be given everything on a silver plate in a YT video. :)

But it's hard not to be a dreamer watching a lesson like that :)

Yes, I've seen all your BP vids :) And thank you very much for the remark about the subjunctive in BP!

[MarcioNSantos]

Bartek, he also teach Brazilian Portuguese :)

[barsorro]

Yes, Marcio, I know :)

But Jason can't do it all by himself, right? ;););)
