Question

Answer 1

In this sentence, the subjunctive is needed because it expresses doubt or uncertainty about whether the action will be completed. The verb "quiero" (to want) is a verb of influence, desire, or emotion, which typically triggers the subjunctive mood when followed by another verb that expresses a request, desire, or command. In this case, "des," which is the informal command form of the verb "dar" (to give), is following the verb "quiere," so the subjunctive is necessary to show that the action of giving the suitcase is not certain.
