When to use the present subjunctive
The present subjunctive (presente de subjuntivo) follows expressions of wishes, emotions, doubt, impersonal judgements and requests: “Quiero que vengas.” It also gives the usted/ustedes and negative tú commands.
How it is formed
Take the yo form of the present, drop the -o and add the “opposite” vowel: -ar → e, es, e, emos, éis, en; -er/-ir → a, as, a, amos, áis, an. So tengo → tenga, hago → haga. Six verbs are fully irregular: ser, estar, ir, haber, saber, dar.
