IN CASE YOU FUCKS HADN’T HEARD, A NEW COPY OF TABLET V OF THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH HAS BEEN FOUND, CONTAINING SOME PRETTY FUCKING GREAT NEW SHIT.

THIS IS A REALLY FUCKING EXCITING THING, BUT OF COURSE NOBODY SEEMS TO GIVE ENOUGH OF A FUCK ABOUT MESOPOTAMIAN SHIT TO ACTUALLY REPORT THIS ANYWHERE SOMEONE MIGHT SEE IT.

IT’S REALLY FUCKING COOL. TRUST US.

¡Buen día! :D

This is my 3rd lesson here. Please share if you have friends learning Spanish. I’ll start doing these at least twice per week. Send me asks and tell me what you have problems with, what you’d like to learn about or what you’d like an explanation for.

¿Subjuntivo?

Yes. Subjunctive.

Nope. It is not an illness. It is something you will face when you get to B1 or maybe when you close your A2 Spanish course. But, what is it?

Let me explain it for you: Subjunctive is the grammatical mood (yeeah) of those unreal actions (woooaaah) that may - or not - affect the speaker (aaahhaa…?) and as so, it can be used to represent desires (oh, yeah~), commands (stop!), uncertainty (what?), conditions (but, what if…), doubts (could we stop here?), relative sentences (hey!), influence (wait!), denial (I can’t even…), reactions (oh…my…God) and emotions (*sobs in Spanish*).

All of them above, are unreal actions. Now that you know it, please don’t ignore it.

Therefore, while in English we don’t use such mood (except for one single verb), in Spanish is really common, and it helps people be more specific about what they want to say. If you change mood (from Indicative to Subjunctive), your sentence would make no sense, or could have a totally different meaning.

I will try to explain it later. With more coffee and some good examples. For now, I have to go to bed, my ex-wisdom teeth are yelling something about needing a painkiller. I just need to rest.

Here’s a list useful websites for practicing for the AP Spanish exam, and I’ll add to the list as I find more resources! They’re good for practice in general, just targeted at AP seeing as that’s what I’m taking.
