A student is writing an email to a friend about preparing for college. The student writes the following sentence to express a recommendation received from a parent:
'Mi madre recomienda que yo ___ (comprar) una computadora nueva.'
Which of the following verb forms correctly completes the sentence?
- compreCevap
- Bcompro
- Ccompraré
- Dcompra
Cevap
The correct answer is 'compre'.
The verb 'recomendar' acts as a verb of influence. When the subject of the main clause ('mi madre') is different from the subject of the subordinate clause ('yo'), the verb in the subordinate clause must be in the subjunctive mood. The first-person singular present subjunctive form of the regular -ar verb 'comprar' is 'compre'.
Adım Adım Çözüm
Anahtar Kavram
Using the subjunctive mood after verbs of recommendation or influence.
İpuçları
1
Look at the main verb 'recomienda' (recommends). Does this express an established fact or an influence/recommendation?
2
Verbs expressing recommendations, requests, or influence (like the 'R' in the WEIRDO acronym) require a specific mood in the following clause.
3
You need the first-person singular ('yo') form of the present subjunctive for the regular -ar verb 'comprar'.

Practice identifying other triggers for the subjunctive mood, such as expressions of doubt (e.g., 'Dudo que...') or emotion (e.g., 'Me alegro de que...').
