Hi,
Today as I was studying Spanish I came across two Spanish words that were in Subjunctive form. My question is that I have never come across subjunctive before so how do I study them or use them I guess is a better word. I was studying my Berlitz Basic Spanish book Unit 1. I was very surprised to come across two subjunctive this early in the book. Any advice? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I'm sure it's covered later in the series. Don't worry much about it until you get to that section.

Often times it is just because it is difficult to give a lot of different examples or write a text without the subjunctive. Both the Assimil course and the FSI course use the subjunctive in some of the very early lessons. I still remember thinking Assimil had a lot of spelling mistakes when I started using it (later realizing it was the subjunctive). Just go with it and be happy you realize they are using the subjunctive and not just making spelling mistakes :)

I recommend getting as well other sources. Grammar books like Gramatica de Uso dedicate several pages to subjunctivo, to various uses and formation.
And a lot will get clear once you progress enough to start using some authentic input, subjunctivo is everywhere, you will get used to it fast :-) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |
