PRESENT SUBJUNCTIVE TENSE


Use the Present Subjunctive to express influence over actions that subject would or would not like somebody else to do, but cannot directly control. The following construction is often used:

	Subject 1 + (present tense verb) + que + Subject 2 + action to be done (subjunctive verb):

		(Yo) quiero que (Uds) vengan maana.  (I want them to come tomorrow.)



The Present Subjunctive expresses emotions now and in the future about something being done now or in the future, with a sense of uncertainty.

     Yo trabaje      [I might be working now.]
     T trabajes      [You might be working now.]
     Ella / l / Usted trabaje      [She might be working now.]
     Nosotros trabajemos      [We might be working now.]
     Vosotros trabajis      [You all might be working now.]
     Ellos / Ustedes trabajen      [They might be working now.]
