Subjunctive Conjugations

Subjuntivo: conjugaciones regulares

To conjugate regular -AR verbs in the subjunctive, take the present tense of the verb and change the A (or O, in yo form) at the beginning of the suffix to E.

-ER verbs: Take the present tense and change the E (or O) to A.

-IR verbs: The conjugation rules for -IR verbs are a bit more complicated.

• yo form – change O to A
• tú, él, and ellos forms – change E to A
• nosotros form – change I to A
• vosotros form – change Í to ÁI

If this seems too complicated, try this: take off the present tense ending and add the subjunctive ending.

Stem-changing verbs: Stem-changing -AR and -ER verbs follow the above rules; they use the same stem as in the present tense and thus maintain their stem changes in the subjunctive.

Notes

• In the subjunctive, the first and third person singular conjugations are identical.
• Spanish subjunctive conjugations are the same as imperative conjugations.
• Stem-changing -IR verbs are irregular and are thus explained on the irregular conjugations page.
