Have you ever seen the phrase:"Espero que você venha amanhã" and thought – why isn't it "vem"?Or do you hear "Se eu fosse rico" and think "why 'fosse'? Isn't it 'era'?"You even try to use the subjunctive, but you feel like you're walking in the dark, unsure of what you're saying…Today I'm going to show you in a simple way how to use the 3 main subjunctive verb tenses so you never get lost again.You will learn to identify and know when to use the subjunctive – to speak and use it more intuitively.Knowing when and HO TO USE the subjunctive is MORE important than learning conjugation: conjugation is mechanical, repetitive… Today I'm going to teach you something deeper than that: how to use these verb tenses in PRACTICE.
