When to use the present subjunctive (based on what verb tense is used before it?

If first verb is:

  • Presente (odio que…me despierten por las mañanas)

  • Pretérito perfecto (me han aconsejado que…vaya a hablar)

  • Futuro simple (los estudiantes pedirán que…no suban las tasas)

  • Imperativo (di a tus padres…que te permitan)

(Most of these are subjunctive due to change in subject)

A common imperfecto subjunctive phrase is:

(Only use imperfect subjunctive if its unlikely to happen and present subjunctive if it is a likely desire!)
