Answer 1

\(\Huge\color{red}\ast\) \(\Huge\mathcal{Welcome\ to\ Openstudy!}\) \(\Huge\color{red}\ast\)

Did you mean to say "indicative OR subjunctive form? cx

Answer 2

yes. my bad.

Answer 3

It's okay, I should have known anyways. Let me tell you, this is one of the hardest things to do, see whether a verb has to be subjunctive or indicative, but I will try to explain...

"The subjunctive mood is used to express everything except certainty and objectivity: things like doubt, uncertainty, subjectivity, etc."

Based on what I said, what do you think indicative will express?

Answer 4

indicative sounds like it express certainty.. Right
??

Answer 5

Correct! So let us try to do this in steps. Try to see which sentences need the verbs conjugated in subjunctive form and which ones need it conjugated in indicative form. :)

Answer 6

Okay the first sentence since would have to be indicative form
And the third would be subjunctive.
But I can't quite grasp the second sentence. I have not seen the word decirnos before.

Answer 7

decirnos is when "they tell us"

Answer 8

I think it would be indicative, but I am not sure. I am not that good at identifying indicative and subjunctive. But maybe if we translate it into English, it might help:

We all look for friends that always tells us the truth.

Answer 9

Okay so if I translate decirnos it would be decemos nos? Would I have to seperate decor and nos?

Answer 10

Decir

Answer 11

I think you might have to separate that. >.>

I think they were trying to trick you honestly. cx

Answer 12

And here is the rules for subjunctive tense:

-ar verbs:
-e, -es, -e, -emos, -éis, -en

-er and -ir verbs:
-a, -as, -a, -amos, -áis, -an

Answer 13

Decamos nos?

Answer 14

I think the "nos" would be before the verb, and "decamos"? Hm...that verb had to be conjugated in indicative tense, remember? I just forgot the rules for the indicative tense and can't find it. ._.

Answer 15

Decir in indicative form wouldntit be digo?

Answer 16

I think that is subjunctive...I think decir is a stem-changing verb. >.>

Answer 17

Let me think about this, just hold on a second. :)

Answer 18

Todos buscamos amigos que siempre nos diga la verdad.
This sounds right. >v>

Answer 19

Well because of the nos wouldn't it be digan

Answer 20

Yes, yes, sorry. /.\

Answer 21

Don't be sorry. Your helping me learn it :)

Answer 22

Yeah, I'm trying. (>v<)

Answer 23

Now the other two?

Answer 24

Okay, let me do it on paper first. One sec. ;)

Answer 25

Okay

Answer 26

I am not being able to figure out that first one. >.>

Answer 27

It's the le that is stumping me. I don't know if I should leave it as le, se , me or te

Answer 28

Maybe @gelidium can help with that one. He/she is good at Spanish. ;D

Answer 29

Let me try to do the third one. :)

Answer 30

1. Rolando tiene un auto que gusta mucho. Rolando has a likeable car.
2. Todos buscamos amigos que siempre nos digan la verdad. We seek friends that always tell us the truth.
3. Irene y José viven en una ciudad que tiene muchos museos. Irene y José live in a city that it has many museums.
Thi is the correct subjunctive expressions. You can see that expressions use the word que before the verbal form que nos digan, que gusta, que tiene. It is the diference with the indicative when you read.

Le is for she or he. Le dije a ella. I said to her.
Les is for they. Les dije a ellos. I said to them.
Me is for mi. Me dijo. He or She said me.
Te is for you. Te dije. I told you.
Se is for general ideas. I sekk more to explain later about se.

Answer 31

Good job @gelidium ! :D

Answer 32

Excuse me for the mistakes in my writing seek , Irene and José.

Answer 33

When I am writing english and spanish at the same time I confuse the words.

Answer 34

That's okay. I got what you meant. Thank you both very much. This subject is very confusing to me..

Answer 35

You can ask me always when you need.

Answer 36

Answer 37

Yes, you can always.

Answer 42

1.Los padres de Miguel cuidan a un perro que protege su casa.
Los padres de Miguel cuidan a un perro que no protege su casa
2.Juan Carlos tiene un pariente que escribe poemas.
Juan Carlos tiene un pariente que no escribe poemas
3.Los Díaz usan coches que son baratos.

Don Diego trabaja con personas que no conocen a su padre
5.Jimena hace un plato mexicano que es delicioso.
Jimena hace un plato mexicano que no es delicioso.

maybe this sentences work better for you. You can see that the sense is different becuase the negative form is after the que word in the subjunctive verb. I think is correct more than my other answer.
