Key learning points
- In Spanish, to express a feeling, emotional reaction or opinion, you often use verbs of emotion.
- Verbs of emotion ('gustar', 'encantar', 'dar', 'molestar', etc.) are followed by an infinitive or the subjunctive.
- When verbs of emotion are followed by the conjunction 'que', use the subjunctive.
- Use a verb of emotion + 'que' + subjunctive for reacting to someone else's action or situation.
Keywords
Subjunctive - verb form that indicates actions which are uncertain, wished for, or that have not yet happened; its forms are different from the indicative
Verb of emotion - expresses a feeling, emotional reaction, or psychological state; these verbs often introduce the subjunctive after 'que'
Common misconception
Verbs of emotion like 'gustar', 'encantar', 'dar', 'molestar', etc. are always followed by the infinitive.
Use a verb of emotion + infinitive to react to your own actions. Use a verb of emotion + 'que' + subjunctive to react to someone else’s. Both forms often talk about emotions, but the change of subject triggers the use of subjunctive.
