subjunctive · "wish" · Hypothetical timeline · Level A
Wishes, hopes and doubts. Things that may or may not happen. You never choose this slot on its own: a trigger phrase on the main line (espero que, quiero que, ojalá que) sends the verb through the door marked que, and it lands here.
Examples
Espero que puedas venir.
I hope you can come.
Quiero que vengas.
I want you to come.
Ojalá que llueva.
I hope it rains.
Careful
There is no slot 9 without a que. If you find yourself saying a slot-9 form on its own, something is missing in front of it.
On the site
Tap 9 on the When strip and a Trigger row opens. Pick a trigger like espero que; the second verb takes the slot-9 ending and the card turns purple to show you have crossed over.
