=== V. The Subjunctive is not a tense but a mood. What does that mean? It is called a mood because it doesn't deal with factual reality but with opinions, feelings, suppositions, dreams and speculation. The Indicative deals with current or past reality. Some people say there is no Subjunctive in English but this isn't true. It is less apparent and less conscious than in Spanish. === === For instance, if your mother has a cold the doctor might recommend that she drink 4 glasses of water a day. Normally, the conjugation is "She drinks"; but the Subjunctive form drops the "s". Another example is that the State requires that you be 21 years old to purchase alcohol. Or even, "If I were King, I would eat Ben & Jerry's ice cream daily." These are all examples of the Subjunctive Mood in English. ===


=== But in Spanish there are defined conjugations for it that are used frequently in everyday conversations. In Spanish, the Subjunctive represents the things we recommend or wish that someone else would do but haven't actually done yet. It encompasses things that are rhetorical, doubtful, emotional reactions and things we deny. ===


=== These verbs experience the same stem changes as the present indicative; that is, the stem vowel changes into a diphthong whenever it is stressed. To put it another way, the vowel in the stem changes in all forms except those for nosotros and vosotros. ===
