Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons
Key learning points
- The subjunctive mood expresses actions which are uncertain, wished for, or that have not yet happened.
- The subjunctive forms of ‘ser’ and ‘tener’ are: 'sea', 'seas', 'sea'; 'tenga', 'tengas', 'tenga'.
- When forming a 'when/if' sentence with 'cuando' the structure is generally 'cuando' + subjunctive + inflectional future.
- In conversation, develop answers by adding opinions, reasons, examples/extra details and different time frames.
Keywords
Subjunctive - verb form that indicates actions which are uncertain, wished for, or that have not yet happened
Common misconception
After ‘cuando’ I always need the subjunctive forms 'tenga', 'tengas', 'tenga' to mean ‘I have', 'you have', 'she, he, it has’.
After ‘cuando’ we use the subjunctive forms only when the action is not yet real, or is uncertain. When the action happens regularly, we use the indicative forms ‘tengo’, 'tienes', 'tiene’.
Teacher tip
The teacher might want to ask students to come up with their own questions related to future changes before activity B2. This will help them engage more deeply with the topic and encourage critical thinking as they prepare for the upcoming activity.
