ons;
(auxiliary) would + verb for 2nd and 3rd persons.]

[Footnote 141: With only one exception--
=Ir= (to go). 1st pers. pl., Pres. Subj.--Vayamos. 1st pers. pl.,
Imperative--Vayamos _or_ vamos (more used).]

[Footnote 142: It is borrowed entirely from the Pres. Subjunctive, as:
No hables, no hable, no hablemos, no hableis, no hablen. The difference
is of course, only apparent in the 2nd person.]

=The Subjunctive Mood=.

This mood offers some difficulty to English students; this arises from
the fact that in English this mode of viewing the action of the verb is
often rendered by the indicative mood or by the semi-auxiliary verbs
"may," "might," "should," "would."

=Note=.--The Spanish rule on the Subjunctive mood must be therefore
applied irrespective of the English construction.

GENERAL RULE.

The Subjunctive Mood can only be used in dependent clauses, as--

Yo quiero que el venga: I wish him to come.
Yo quiero que el vaya: I wish him to go.

And then, only when, by reason of what precedes in the Principal Clause,
the action of the Subordinate verb is not expressed in a positive manner
(i.e., as a fact) but as merely contingent (i.e., only conceived in the
mind), as--

Yo declare que el vino (_or_ vendria): I say that he came
_or_ that he would come.
Yo espero que el venga: I hope that he may come.
Yo esperaba que el viniese: I hoped that he might, _or_
would come.

SPECIAL RULES.

I. A verb in a dependent clause is placed (generally) in the Subjunctive
Mood after verbs expressing an action, or emotion of the mind, when the
subjects of the principal and of the subordinate verbs are different.

EXAMPLES of principal verbs which govern the following verb in the
Subjunctive Mood--

aconsejar (to advise)
alegrarse de que (to be glad that)
avergonzarse de que (to be ashamed that)
conceder (to grant)
conseguir (to obtain)
desear (to desire)
esperar (to hope)
evitar (to avoid)
impedir (to hinder)
mandar (to order)
querer (to wish)
rogar (to ask, to beg)
sentir (to regret)
temer (to fear)
confiar en que (to trust)

N.B.--(_a_) If the 2nd verb should have the same subject, use the
Infinitive Mood, as--

Deseo que venga: I wish him to come.
Deseo venir: I wish to come.

(_b_) After verbs expressing joy, shame, sorrow, or fear, the Indicative
may be used instead of the Subjunctive.

(_c_) After "mandar" (to order) the subordinate verb is often in the
Infinitive instead of t
