Practise the Spanish subjunctive

All eight subjuntivo tenses of the 48 verbs you need first, and a game set to them.

The subjuntivo is where most learners stall. The forms are regular enough, but they turn up in clauses after que and you have to spot them at speed. Drilling the forms until they are automatic is what makes the clauses easy.

Start with the presente de subjuntivo (B1) and the two imperfecto forms in -ra and -se (B2). The pluscuamperfecto builds on them with haber, and the futuro de subjuntivo is rare outside legal and literary Spanish.
