Question

Hi! Can someone check my answers to these three Spanish sentences? Thanks!


Directions: Re-write the Spanish sentences in the present subjunctive.


1.) I feel that she is honest.
My answer: Siento que ella es honesta.

2.) We doubt that the boys clean the room.
My answer: Dudamos de que los muchachos a limpiar la habitación.

3.) They fear that the teacher gives a lot of homework.
My answer: Temen que el profesor da mucha tarea.

I'll send this to our Spanish expert, SraJMcGin. Please check back.

Answer 2

With that lovely name, Gigi, shouldn't you be studying French?!!

Working with the Present Subjunctive, be sure you know how to form it (#3) and why you need it. Note the Instructions say to "rewrite the sentences in the Present Subjunctive." That would mean no Present Indicative (#1, #3) and no infinitives (#2)

The Present Subjunctive is always introduced by clause relater "que" (except after Ojalá).

#1. "Siento que" could be interpreted as "I regret that..." (Me) Siento que ella sea honesta.

#2. Dudar does not require "de" = Dudamos que los muchachos limpien la habitación.

#3. Temen que el profesor dé mucha tarea.

I'll flag this and come back later to see if you have further questions.
