<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The <span style="text-decoration: underline;">subjunctive</span> is most frequent in subordinate clauses introduced by <em>que</em> or another subordinating conjunction, but not all <em>que</em>-clauses take the subjunctive. All of these clauses fulfill one of two conditions: they either describe a <strong><em>potential or hypothetical</em></strong> situation, or else they reflect the subject's <strong><em>subjective or emotional</em></strong> reaction to a situation. Usually the main clause contains elements which condition the choice of the subjunctive. (Surprisingly, clauses introduced by the conjunction <em>si</em> 'if', which typically expresses a hypothetical condition, do not require the subjunctive.) <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 7.5pt;">(<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">www.usna.edu)</span></span></em><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN;" lang="EN"></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">A <span style="text-decoration: underline;">subordinating conjunction</span> is a word which joins together a dependent clause and an independent clause. Subordinating conjunctions are used to join two sentences when one of them is depending on the first one. Some of these subordinating conjunctions are:<br /><br />&bull; that (<strong>que</strong>)<br />&bull; although, though (<strong>aunque</strong>)<br />&bull; because of (<strong>debido a</strong>)<br />&bull; while (<strong>en tanto que</strong>)<br />&bull; since (<strong>ya que, puesto que</strong>)<br />&bull; until (<strong>hasta que</strong>)<br />&bull; as (<strong>pues, como</strong>)<br />&bull; as if, as though (<strong>como si</strong>)<br />&bull; so that (<strong>a fin de que</strong>)<br />&bull; when (<strong>cuando</strong>)<br />&bull; lest (<strong>para que no</strong>)<br />&bull; why (<strong>por que</strong>)<br />&bull; if (<strong>si</strong>) in order that (<strong>para</strong>)<br />&bull; unless (<strong>a menos que</strong>)<br />&bull; although, even though (<strong>si bien</strong>) <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 8pt;">(</span></em><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 7pt;">www.spanishlanguageguide.com)</span></em><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 8pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;" lang="EN"></span></em></span></p>

The indicative or subjunctive mood may be required in the adverbial clause in Spanish, or an adverbial phrase (preposition plus infinitive) may be used, depending on: </span></span></p>

Some adverbial conjunctions by their very nature deal with something hypothetical or anticipated and thus are always followed by the subjunctive; others may take either the subjunctive or the indicative. </span></span></li>

The indicative or subjunctive mood may be required in the adverbial clause in Spanish, or an adverbial phrase (preposition plus infinitive) may be used, depending on: </span></span></p>
<ol type="I">
<li>&nbsp;<ol type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Whether there is a change of subject. If no change of subject is involved and a preposition exists which corresponds to the conjunction, that preposition plus an infinitive is normally used, e.g.: <span style="text-decoration: underline;">He</span>'s saving his money so <span style="text-decoration: underline;">he</span> can buy a car, <strong>Ahorra su dinero para poder comprar un coche.</strong> </span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The type situation or time in the adverbial clause. <strong>In general, if the situation in the adverbial clause is viewed as something hypothetical or anticipated &mdash;rather than completed, habitual, or factual&mdash; then the subjunctive is required.</strong> In contrast, if the adverbial expression deals with something that is viewed as completed, habitual, or factual, the indicative is used. Some adverbial conjunctions by their very nature deal with something hypothetical or anticipated and thus are always followed by the subjunctive; others may take either the subjunctive or the indicative. </span></span></li>
