which we have to use the subjunctive

[jrineakter]

I'm offering you a little one-sentence test right now, don't leave the video, to test yourself and see if you understood correctly. I'm going to give you two sentences and you're going to choose the one for

The first sentence is: "I think I got a good grade." How do you write "I got"? Is it "I got" or "I got"? Indicative or subjunctive? And the second sentence: "I need to get a good grade." Do you put "I got" or "I got"? Among these two sentences, one is in the subjunctive. Which one? Is it "I think I got a good grade" or "I need to get a good grade"?

Yes, it's the second sentence, because this second sentence expresses necessity, obligation. I have to get a good grade. So we'll put an "e" at the end of "ai": aie.

And to check, you say to yourself, if it were the first person plural, would I say "we must have a good grade" or "we must have a good grade"? By ear, we hear that we must say "we must have a good grade". So it is the subjunctive.

So, I remind you. The subjunctive has a bad belgium whatsapp number data reputation, but you shouldn't fear it. Think about the meaning, think about the context, relax and focus on listening to authentic content for a long time. Your brain will do the rest, it will sort it out and it will get into the habit, the reflex, of using the subjunctive when it needs to.
