The Subjunctive Exercise at Auto-English
It is difficult to find the subjunctive tense in English. In Spanish, verbs expressing the subjunctive are clearly conjugated. This is not the case with English. However, when we come to translate ideas expressed in the subjunctive from Spanish to English, we find that English uses many strange devices and tricks in order to reach this same tense which is so neatly expressed in Spanish.
Try to translate the following sentences into English.
