-Estudiar bien estas reglas:
Spanish has two basic tenses of the subjunctive mood in everyday use, the present subjunctive, and the imperfect subjunctive. (Although a future subjunctive form exists, it generally isn't used in speech, its use being limited primarily to formal legal documents.)
Fortunately, knowing which tense to use is fairly easy to remember. Verbs in the subjunctive mood are typically in a part of a sentence (a dependent clause) that begins with que, which follows a verb in the indicative mood. The tense of the subjunctive verb depends on the tense of the verb in the first part of the sentence, as indicated in the following list of sentence structures.
• Present indicative verb + que + present subjunctive verb.
• Preterite indicative verb + que + imperfect subjunctive verb.
• Imperfect indicative verb + que + imperfect subjunctive verb.
• Future indicative verb + que + present subjunctive verb.
• Conditional indicative verb + que + imperfect subjunctive verb.
• Preterite indicative verb + que + imperfect subjunctive verb.
• Imperfect indicative verb + que + imperfect subjunctive verb.
• Future indicative verb + que + present subjunctive verb.
• Conditional indicative verb + que + imperfect subjunctive verb.
Distinctions in the above list are often referred to as the sequence of tenses. Although there are exceptions as well as instances where the subjunctive mood is used with other sentence structures, these rules take into account the vast majority of cases where the subjunctive mood is used.
Here are examples of sentences using each of the above structures:
Present Indicative/Present Subjunctive
• Recomiendo que no estudies cuando comas. I recommend that you don't study when you eat.
• ¿Es buena idea que duerma con mi bebé? Is it a good idea for me to sleep with my baby?
• Todo está listo para que inicie el foro. Everything is ready for the forum to begin.
Preterite Indicative/Imperfect Subjunctive
• Intenté que ellos me entendieran. I tried to get them to understand me.
• Nunca mereciste que te amara, hasta ahora. You never deserved for me to love you, until now.
• Era mejor que te ensuciaras las manos. It was better that you got your hands dirty.
• Recomiendo que no estudies cuando comas. I recommend that you don't study when you eat.

(There are two acceptable spellings for the imperfect subjunctive, and much depends on the country, for example Spain, Perú, prefer to use HUBIESE, while many other countries use HUBIERA, which seems more generally used, and because of that most Spanish texts, -ours included- use HUBIERA, tuviera, comiera, etc)

-Estudiar bien lo siguiente antes de hacer los ejercicios 3-4 del Cuaderno:
The Imperfect Subjunctive in Noun Clauses
All the rules regarding the use of the present subjunctive in noun clauses (namely volition, doubt, and emotion) apply to the imperfect subjunctive as well.
The following sentences in the present…
Mi padre quiere que yo corte el césped.
My father wants me to mow the lawn.
Yo dudo que ella sepa tocar el saxofón.
I doubt that she knows how to play the saxophone.
Ella está feliz que él vaya al baile.
She is happy that he is going to the dance.
Become these in the past:
Mi padre quiso que yo cortara el césped.
My father wanted me to mow the lawn.
Yo dudaba que ella supiera tocar el saxofón.
I doubted that she knew how to play the saxophone.
Ella estuvo feliz que él fuera al baile.
She was happy that he went to the dance.
The Imperfect Subjunctive in Adjective Clauses
In determining whether to use the subjunctive or the indicative in the present tense, we had to ask ourselves, "Is the antecedent definite or indefinite?" We'll ask the same question when dealing with the past tense. If the antecedent was concrete, we use the indicative (either preterite or imperfect). If it was non-specific, we use the imperfect subjunctive.
The following sentences in the present tense…
Tengo un libro que se trata de negocios.
I have a book that is about business.
Necesito un libro que me interese.
I need a book that interests me.
Become these in the past:
Tenía un libro que se trataba de negocios.
I had a book that was about business.
Necesitaba un libro que me interesara.
I needed a book that interested me.
All the rules regarding the use of the present subjunctive in noun clauses (namely volition, doubt, and emotion) apply to the imperfect subjunctive as well.
The following sentences in the present…
Mi padre quiere que yo corte el césped.
My father wants me to mow the lawn.
Yo dudo que ella sepa tocar el saxofón.
I doubt that she knows how to play the saxophone.
Ella está feliz que él vaya al baile.
She is happy that he is going to the dance.

We'll ask the same question when dealing with the past tense. If the antecedent was concrete, we use the indicative (either preterite or imperfect). If it was non-specific, we use the imperfect subjunctive.

Necesito un libro que me interese.
I need a book that interests me.
Become these in the past:
Tenía un libro que se trataba de negocios.
I had a book that was about business.
Necesitaba un libro que me interesara.
I needed a book that interested me.
The Imperfect Subjunctive in Adverbial (Adverb) Clauses
In the present tense whether or not to use the subjunctive in an adverbial clause comes down to the conjunction used. The same is true in the past.
Always Indicative
These conjunctions always require the indicative (in the present as well as the past) because they introduce facts: como, puesto que, ya que, dado que, en vista que, a pesar de que, por eso, porque.
This present tense sentence…
Rosa no va porque está enferma.
Rosa isn't going because she is sick.
Becomes this in the past:
Rosa no fue porque estaba enferma.
Rosa didn't go because she was sick.
In the present tense whether or not to use the subjunctive in an adverbial clause comes down to the conjunction used. The same is true in the past.
Always Indicative

This present tense sentence…
Rosa no va porque está enferma.
Rosa isn't going because she is sick.
Becomes this in the past:
Rosa no fue porque estaba enferma.
Rosa didn't go because she was sick.
Always Subjunctive
These conjunctions always introduce subjunctive clauses because the actions are uncertain or otherwise dependent on something else: antes de que, con tal que, en caso que, a menos que, para que, a fin de que, sin que.
This present tense sentence…
Nos dan clases de francés para que entendamos a la gente.
They give us French classes so that we understand the people.
Becomes this in the past:
Nos dieron clases de francés para que entendiéramos a la gente.
They gave us French classes so that we understood the people.
Subjunctive or Indicative
The following conjunctions could introduce either indicative or subjunctive clauses depending on the situation: aunque, cuando, después de que, hasta que, mientras que, siempre que, tan pronto como, en cuanto.
Use the indicative if the conjunction introduces a clause that refers to a habitual situation. Use the subjunctive if the clause refers to an action that had not yet happened.
These present tense sentences…
Usualmente me saludan tan pronto como llego.
Usually they greet me as soon as I arrive.
Voy a pagarte tan pronto como reciba el dinero.
I'm going to pay you as soon as I recieve the money.
Become these in the past:
Usualmente me saludaban tan pronto como llegaba.
Usually they greeted me as soon as I arrived.
Iba a pagarte tan pronto como recibiera el dinero.
I was going to pay you as soon as I recieved the money.

The following conjunctions could introduce either indicative or subjunctive clauses depending on the situation: aunque, cuando, después de que, hasta que, mientras que, siempre que, tan pronto como, en cuanto.

Usualmente me saludaban tan pronto como llegaba.
Usually they greeted me as soon as I arrived.
Iba a pagarte tan pronto como recibiera el dinero.
I was going to pay you as soon as I recieved the money.
So Which Tense Do I Use?
So, are you thoroughly confused yet? The following chart may help. Generally speaking the tense in the main clause determines the tense of the dependent clause:
independent clause: dependent clause:
Él exige …
(present) que hagan su tarea.
(present)
Él exigirá …
(future) que hagan su tarea.
(present)
Él ha exigido …
(present perfect) que hagan su tarea.
(present)

Hola Muchachos!
By now you’ve studied your vocabulary list for Unit 6#1, but assuming that you did it about ten days ago, I’d like to ask you to please study it again, very carefully so that you can do the exercises without consulting the text while doing it.
I am hoping that everyone has his/her class material at home as I suggested the last time we met in class March 13.
I am hoping that everyone has his/her class material at home as I suggested the last time we met in class March 13.
You should organize yourselves, and work on Spanish every Monday and Wednesday from 10-11:30 for Period 2, and Tuesday and Thursday from 12:30-2:00 for period 6.
A high level of trust is necessary to facilitate the learning process, especially because I will not be holding live class sessions. I request that on Fridays each of you contact me by email letting me know that you have done the work of the week, and make the necessary corrections. This will be noted for participation purposes. Friday is also a good opportunity to ask for any clarifications.
Today I’d like to concentrate on the vocabulary, feel free to use dictionaries, online or otherwise.
1. Study (again) the vocabulary list (378, text)
2. Read pages 356-357 text)
3. Do exercises 1-2 (358, text)
