The subjunctive is a _________.
- A.
  
  Difficult tense in Spanish
- B.
  
  A mood, not a tense
- C.
  
  Verb tense in Spanish
- D.
  
  Required tense
Correct Answer
B. A mood, not a tense

Explanation
The correct answer is "a mood, not a tense." In Spanish, the subjunctive is not considered a tense but rather a mood. It is used to express uncertainty, doubt, desires, wishes, and hypothetical situations. Unlike verb tenses, which indicate when an action takes place, the subjunctive mood focuses on the speaker's attitude or perspective towards the action. It is important to understand the distinction between mood and tense when learning Spanish grammar.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
This statement is false. In Spanish, there are indeed irregular verbs in the present subjunctive. The present subjunctive forms of some verbs do not follow the regular conjugation patterns, and they have unique endings. These irregular verbs often have stem changes or spelling changes in their subjunctive forms. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

  Vas a venir
Correct Answer

The correct answer is "venga" because it is the present subjunctive form of the verb "venir" which is used to express desires or wishes. In this sentence, the speaker is expressing their desire for her to come to the party.

Sra. Weimar quiere que sus alumnos _______(sacar) las mejores notas posibles.
- A.
  
  Saquen
- B.
  
  Sacen
- C.
  
  Sacan
- D.
  
  Sacaron
Correct Answer
A. Saquen

Explanation
Sra. Weimar quiere que sus alumnos saquen las mejores notas posibles. La palabra "saquen" está en el modo subjuntivo, que se utiliza para expresar deseos, órdenes o sugerencias. En este caso, la Sra. Weimar está expresando su deseo de que sus alumnos obtengan las mejores notas. Las otras opciones ("sacen", "sacan" y "sacaron") no están en el modo subjuntivo y no transmiten el mismo significado de deseo o sugerencia.

The present subjunctive of regular verbs follows the same "rules" as the imperative in Spanish. That is to say, drop the O of the regular "yo" form of the present tense, add the "opposite vowel" and proceed. This even applies to verbs considered to be "irregular" ( decir, tener, hacer, venir, poner, etc.)
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The explanation for the given correct answer is that the present subjunctive of regular verbs in Spanish follows the same rules as the imperative. This means that you drop the "o" from the regular "yo" form of the present tense, add the opposite vowel, and proceed. This rule even applies to verbs that are considered irregular, such as decir, tener, hacer, venir, poner, etc. Therefore, the statement "The present subjunctive of regular verbs follows the same rules as the imperative in Spanish" is true.
