The Subjunctive Spanish has another way of using verbs called the subjunctive mood.

The Subjunctive We use it to say what one person does or doesn’t want, tell, suggest, or recommend someone else to do.

The Subjunctive A sentence that includes the subjunctive form has two parts connected by the word que. For example:

We recommend that you speak with a travel agent.
