Key Grammar Structures
-
Que no encuentres un amor tierno y sincero
➔ Present subjunctive after “que” (wish/negative hope)
➔ The verb **"encuentres"** is in the present subjunctive, triggered by the conjunction **"que"** to express a wish that something does *not* happen.
-
Que cada hombre que aparezca en tu camino sea un estúpido
➔ Subjunctive after “que” + relative clause with “que”
➔ Both **"aparezca"** and **"sea"** are in the present subjunctive, required after **"que"** in a wish‑like construction; the first **"que"** also introduces the relative clause **"que aparezca"**.
-
Para que regreses
➔ Purpose clause: para que + subjunctive
➔ The verb **"regreses"** is in the present subjunctive because it follows the purpose connector **"para que"**, indicating a desired outcome.
-
Que te coma la tristeza
➔ Subjunctive after “que” (wish or imprecation)
➔ Here **"coma"** is the present subjunctive of *comer*, used after **"que"** to express a harsh wish that *sadness* 'eats' the listener.
-
Que te arrastren por el suelo
➔ Subjunctive after “que” (negative wish / curse)
➔ The verb **"arrastren"** is present subjunctive, introduced by **"que"**, expressing a harsh wish that someone *drag* the subject on the ground.
-
Que no encuentres quien te pueda amar
➔ Relative pronoun “quien” + subjunctive (non‑existent/indefinite antecedent)
➔ The clause **"quien te pueda amar"** uses **"pueda"** in the present subjunctive because “quien” refers to an indefinite or non‑existent person.
-
Por eso lo digo
➔ Causal connector “por eso” + indicative
➔ The verb **"digo"** stays in the indicative mood because **"por eso"** simply states a reason: *for that reason I say it*.
-
Que te den consuelo
➔ Subjunctive after “que” (wish / request for something to happen)
➔ The verb **"den"** is the present subjunctive of *dar*, used after **"que"** to convey a desire that *someone give* comfort.
-
Que siempre te ignoren
➔ Subjunctive after “que” with adverb “siempre” (repeated undesired action)
➔ The verb **"ignoren"** is present subjunctive, preceded by **"siempre"**, stressing a continual unwanted outcome: *may they always ignore you*.
