Subjunctive Practice (Present)
The present subjunctive is where “I know the rule” turns into “I froze” — especially in DELE speaking when you hit que-clauses.
This drill is not a lecture. It’s short, typed retrieval so your brain stops negotiating endings mid-sentence.
Train both: recognizing common triggers (quiero que, es importante que, aunque…) and producing the verb form cleanly.
DELE outcomes
- Reduce pauses after “que” in speaking (wants, recommendations, doubt).
- Stop avoidable errors in writing (formal requests, opinions, hypotheticals).
- Make common irregulars feel automatic (sea, haya, vaya, tenga).
Common mistakes to fix
- Using indicative after a trigger (“Espero que es…”).
- Stem-change slips (piense, duerma, pida) when answering fast.
- Irregular first-person present → wrong subjunctive stem (tengo → tenga).
- Forgetting that negative commands use present subjunctive forms.
