The present subjunctive is generally formed by taking the first person singular form of the present indicative, dropping the “-o” ending, and adding subjunctive endings. The endings are “-e, -es, -e, -emos, -en” for -ar verbs and “-a, -as, -a, -amos, -áis, -an” for -er and -ir verbs.
Examples:
- Hablar (to speak): hable, hables, hable, hablemos, hablen
- Comer (to eat): coma, comas, coma, comamos, coman
- Vivir (to live): viva, vivas, viva, vivamos, vivan
