__The Subjunctive Mood__
The most important thing at level 8 is an understanding of the use of the subjunctive mood. Your internal and external assessments will all involve you utilizing and understanding the subjunctive mood in Spanish. We have studied this extensively in class, however, nobody is an expert when it comes to the subjunctive so you need to revise, relearn, review until you are certain of the most common phrases that utilize the subjunctive so that you get it right when it counts.

This website is an excellent resource and provides a very clear description of the subjunctive mood. There are 8 parts to the section on Subjunctive.You will notice that the lesson linked to is part 1. To access the others click on the links on the left hand sidebar on that site.

At this website there are several pages that explore the subjunctive (each is hyperlinked below but I suggest scanning the front page of this website so that you can see what else is there to study). There are exercises that require you to do different things. The past subjunctive is very important at level 8 to communicate about possiblity (specifically in Si clauses). The present subjunctive is important for speaking about the future, as well as expressing emotions, desires and requests. Excellent introductory explanation of the subjunctive mood. Si Clauses Subjunctive Mood (Present) Subjunctive Mood (Past) Game - El preterito perfecto de subjunctivoThis is a useful form of the subjunctive refering to activities in the present perfect tense (he ido, has comido, han visto). It is used to express all of the subjunctive moods with regard to those activities (e.g. me gusta que hayas venido hoy) I am pleased that you have come today. You only need to learn the present subjunctive conjugation of the auxilary verb haber, then add the past participle as you do when forming the present perfect. ¿¿Fácil no??
