@stitchknit72 2 года назад

I've actually been using Spanish more years than you've been alive and I'm loving your lessons. The subjunctive was always iffy for me. You make it so clear and logical. You are an outstanding instructor.

@QrooSpanish 2 года назад

Glad to hear it! The subjunctive seems intimidating at first but it isn't too bad if you tackle it in small bits. Thanks for watching

I was at a latino festival and a guy was getting ready to sing a song. He said "espero que les guste". For a couple of seconds I thought "guste??" Then it clicked it was sunjunctive. First time I noticed gustar used that way. It instantly stuck in my head.

@stephenkebbell7082 18 дней назад

In fact, I'm surprised that he didn't say "Que les guste". Often the "Espero" when it's obvious, it's omitted completely.

@MikeAndrews-dp6yi 10 месяцев назад

We know that subjunctive is used for wishes, doubts, etc and this lesson clearly explains "the change in subject rule" when using "esperar" for "hope". But one can be tempted to also apply the change in subject rule when expressing doubt, which always triggers the subjunctive.

@ericallen3006 7 месяцев назад

Man, so much good information. I have been stuck for awhile now in my Spanish learning, stuck in the indicative form. I didn’t even know there was a subjunctive form lol.

Hi Qroo Paul. This is another extremely useful lesson. I greatly appreciate how you combined chunks of earlier lessons and cleverly incorporated those in this lesson. I recall an earlier lesson (that gap between Beginner and Intermediate) where you mentioned the use of the Unknown and Unspecified in the use of the Subjunctive Mood. I really enjoyed this lesson on the use of the Indicative and Subjunctive in using the verb Esperar. I look forward to more enticing lessons from you. Ojala que pueda mejorar mi Espanol lo sufficientemente para escribir pronto en Los commentarios. Tenga que vaya muy bien en Florida con la citas de medico.

"de al lago" This is one of the reasons Qroo Paul's lessons are awesome.

Paul is very helpful in that regard.

Several techniques you use are very helpful to me. The plug and play, the exercises where you pause to let us try, and your emphasis on the subjunctive.

@paulbradford6475 Год назад

I just discovered your videos a couple of weeks ago. They're super useful, believe me. I've been pecking away at my Spanish for about two years now, and your videos give me an actual script, if you will, with slight variations, that I can drill myself on everyday. And finally, I'm getting to understand what the subjunctive is, why it is, and where to use it. Many thanks. P.S. Take up the kite-boarding for sure, but please don't stop making these great videos.

@stephenkebbell7082 18 дней назад

HOWEVER.... in conversation, you'll often hear "Espero que + subjunctive", not only do they omit "Yo" they'll omit "Espero" too. So you'll often hear and say ... Que tengas buen día (common parting phrase) Que tengas suerte (Anticipation) Que te guste (humble) Que cantes bien (bit harsh) Que vaya con Dios (at least in Guatemala) Etc.

@ericbaugher 2 года назад

Good to have you back Paul! Quick question. I am practicing the sentence "Gracias por traerme mi comida" why is the infinitive triggered here? I got this sentence from a machine translation. I eat at a Mexican taco stand often and the woman brings me my food. I use this sentence to thank her. But I don't really understand why my machine translator makes traerme an infinitive? Is this at all related to the pattern of espero + infinitive? I am trying to say thanks for bringing me my food. Thanks for this great channel, I watch all your videos and give them all a like.

@QrooSpanish 2 года назад

Hi Eric. The inifintive is used after prepositions and POR is a preposition. The sentence starter is GRACIAS POR..thanks for. You could insert a noun or a verb in the infinitive: Gracias por la comida. Thanks for the food. Gracias por decirme la verdad. Thanks for telling me the truth. Gracias por traerme la comida. Thanks for bringing me the food -- which. although grammatically correct, sounds odd in Spanish. In stores or restaurants, you could say something like gracias por atenderme -- or if they are super great, gracias por atenderme tan bien.

@kcorpora1 2 года назад

Paul good one, totally needed. I assume that a lot who uses "I hope" without knowing the subjunctive or that it exists, says it weird but thinks it is correct like: -espero no llover -espero el equipaje caber -espero traes dinero contigo esta vez Good Stuff -llueva -quepa -traigas

@QrooSpanish 2 года назад

Yes, the natural thing to do when you don't know any better is to translate literally. I have done that myself many times over the years. I was fortunate that I was around native speakers and they would politely correct me.

@robertflint2549 2 года назад

Espero regresar en Espana en 2023. Espero que Harry pueda vivir en America Latina en el futuro. By the way 'ojala' can also be used for 'I hope' and is followed with or without 'que' and by the subjunctive, as I'm sure you know. But I have seen it translated into our tongue more as 'hopefully', which means pretty much the same in my book. It derives from the Moorish occupation of Spain the Arabic 'insha Allah' (God willing), which, oddly enough, is mostly used as a future marker in Arabic. (I don't even know if Arabic has a subjunctive mood. My Arabic is very rudimentary).

@AriesMars Год назад

but not only ojala comes from arabic, we have other words in spanish like almohada - pillow alcoba - bedroom alcohol - Here you have an official website of the Andalusian government in Spanish and it shows more words bit.ly/41fd4om

Guys, if you are getting trouble with some Spanish phrase, just try it with an alternative translation. Example: "a house that faces the lake", ... this could be said as: "una casa que *de la cara* al lago", or much simpler: "una casa enfrente del lago" (in front of the lake) 😊.
