Quiz # 3 – The Subjunctive in Adjective Clauses

By Doc Molly on March 26, 2015 0

This podcast is a quiz that reviews the subjunctive in adjective clauses, covered in the premium podcasts: Subjunctive 7 and 8.

A subordinate adjective clause describes a noun or pronoun in the main clause of a sentence. When it describes something KNOWN AND SPECIFIC, we use the INDICATIVE. When the subordinate adjective clause describes something NOT YET IDENTIFIED, which may or may not exist, we use the SUBJUNCTIVE.

Identify the Adjective Clause

Conozco a un chico que vive en Santiago.
(I know a boy who lives in Santiago.)
– que vive en Santiago

No conozco a nadie que viva en Santiago.
(I don’t know anyone who lives in Santiago.)
– que viva en Santiago

¿Subjuntivo or Indicativo?

(Do you know of anyone who gives Spanish lessons by Skype?)

Sí. Conozco a alguien que DA clases de español por Skype. INDICATIVO
(Yes. I know someone who gives Spanish lessons by Skype.)

Necesitamos a alguien que TENGA mucha paciente. SUBJUNTIVO
(We need someone who has a lot of patience.)

Vivo en un lugar que HACE mucho frío. INDICATIVO
(I live in a place that is very cold.)

Deseaba estudiantes que HICIERAN/HICIESEN su tarea. SUBJUNTIVO
(I wanted students that did their homework.)

They never offer us anything that we like.
