1 In Lección 13, you learned that the subjunctive is used in adverbial clauses after certain conjunctions. You will now learn how the subjunctive can be used in adjective clauses to express that the existence of someone or something is uncertain or indefinite. Copyright © 2012 Vista Higher Learning.

3 The subjunctive is used in an adjective (or subordinate) clause that refers to a person, place, thing, or idea that either does not exist or whose existence is uncertain or indefinite. In the examples below, compare the differences in meaning between the statements using the indicative and those using the subjunctive. Copyright © 2012 Vista Higher Learning. All rights reserved.

5 ¡Atención! Adjective clauses are subordinate clauses that modify a noun or pronoun in the main clause of a sentence. That noun or pronoun is called the antecedent. Copyright © 2012 Vista Higher Learning. All rights reserved.

6 When the adjective clause refers to a person, place, thing, or idea that is clearly known, certain, or definite, the indicative is used. Copyright © 2012 Vista Higher Learning. All rights reserved.

7 ¿Conoces un restaurante italiano que esté cerca de mi casa?
¡Atención! Observe the important role that the indefinite article vs. the definite article plays in determining the use of the subjunc-tive in adjective clauses. Read the following sentences and notice why they are different: ¿Conoces un restaurante italiano que esté cerca de mi casa? ¿Conoces el restaurante italiano que está cerca de mi casa?

8 The personal a is not used with direct objects that are hypothetical people. However, as you learned in Lección 7, alguien and nadie are always preceded by the personal a when they function as direct objects. Copyright © 2012 Vista Higher Learning. All rights reserved.

9 The subjunctive is commonly used in questions with adjective clauses when the speaker is trying to find out information about which he or she is uncertain. However, if the person who responds to the question knows the information, the indicative is used. Copyright © 2012 Vista Higher Learning. All rights reserved.

10 ¡Atención! Here are some verbs which are commonly followed by adjective clauses in the subjunctive:
