Gracias por ver! I know many struggle with this topic so I wanted to provide some help. Let me know what topics you want me to cover in the future! Also, don't forget to check out my 3 Secrets To Learn Spanish Faster here: speakspanishfaster.com/youtube -- If I had to learn Spanish from scratch again, these are the main 3 things I would do.

[@MandoMadness]

Thank you bro

[@neicee00]

Sometimes I just wish i learned Spanish first then English lol

[@kingtv3321]

I swear lol English is complicated in spelling, but I feel like English really is easier to learn from scratch

Sameeeee

[@ArielleCrowell]

Me too

[@romanlakes]

@@kingtv3321 English is full of irregularities and phrasal verbs that have countless uses. English is probably easier to get started with, but I’m willing to bet it’s harder to get really good at

It really is mind blowing to me that you use to teach me how to improve my dribbling skills and now you’re teaching me Spanish. Multipurpose coach amazing

Ong broooo

[@KINGKAYLEB-vq2tb]

Started off watching coach rock about 7 years ago to improve at bball and now he's here to help me learn Spanish too, u the goat bro. I was like damn homie looks mad familiar 🤣

[@drew2c659]

This was probably the last thing I learned in my 5th year taking Spanish and it was hard to get down. But it really should be taught because it is used SO OFTEN. This was very easy to learn and pick back up. Thank you!

[@mellorenzfullon5724]

Ser should be sea, right? Fuera is for imperfect tense.

[@charletfoster8917]

Thanks for clarifying the subjunctive tense; I have a clearer view now🙏🏿😊

[@SpeakSpanishFaster]

Thanks for watching :) I'm glad you found it helpful.

[@RoadyPacking-CyclingAdventures]

I've been struggling understanding what the subjunctive is all about for ages. I think I have it now with your help!! Muchas gracias

[@Elektra444]

Thank you! El subjuntivo has been the bane of my existence 😂. More videos on it would be great! Gracias por todo lo que haces

Nice and clear teaching of what is a tricky part of Spanish usage and grammar. Thanks

[@danielgrassman2175]

Very helpful, I appreciate your teaching style!

[@Dan.50]

The shortest lesson on the subject but the one that helped the most. Gracias!

[@veronika607]

wow.. i was really struggling with this topic the whole semester. and tonight is the night before my spanish exam but at least i feel confident with subjuntivo now. thank you! ^^

[@jakem3748]

Isn’t “Ser” in subjunctive “Sea?” I thought fuera was for like imperfect subjunctive or something. Idk I could be wrong

[@michaelwallace4043]

Thanks for clarifying this up. Quiero que des mas ejemplos!

[@endlessevilinsanity]

Thank you for covering this topic. The first three sentences I figured out no problem, the next four were a bit more challenging but doable, and the final two were quite challenging.

[@tonyperez-perry1906]

Thank you for going over this. It is really helpful. I got a good grasp on it a few years ago but it was not without study and intent. You definitely gave the best most straight forward break down. Can you go over the Future Subjunctive and its use in a future video. I am struggling with those other forms of the subjunctive mood.

[@MidnightXAlchemy]

Well explained Hermano 🐐

[@kathleenba9639]

Thank you!

[@jadentran2412]

crazy how this guy taught me how to shoot a basketball when I was 7 and is now teaching me spanish when im 17 lmaooo

[@QueenD08]

Hola Rocky ! For the 2nd practice quiz, I put "No creo que ella vaya a llegar tarde." Is that correct too?

[@jrenee3199]

So in the 2nd practice quiz, you said to translate it to “I doubt that she’ll arrive late” so I wrote “Dudo que ella vaya a llegar tarde” is that an okay way to translate it as well?

[@hireath3842]

I’m trying to learn Puerto Rican spanish, do you teach it fully on this channel? And is there any books I can study with?

[@azbear2273]

Thank you for your videos. I find them helpful. Im Spanish, what is the difference between subjunctive and conditional tenses? Or are they the same?

[@user-mz7de3kc3d]

Not that same

[@inferiorpatty]

Great video, im currently learning this tense in my spanish class and its definitely confusing at times, but at 5:19, isnt the yo form in the pres subj of ser "sea"?

[@NeptuneMood08]

yes, it is. i was about to say the same thing. “fuera” is the imperfect subjunctive

[@kcorpora1]

Good catch! Even the teacher makes mistakes. quiero que seas mi amigo. I want you to be my friend. quería que fueras mi amigo. I wanted you to be my friend.

[@inferiorpatty]

Thank you guys, im not familiar with any other subjunctive tense so i was a bit confused at first 👍

gracias para esto

Here from the Bronx. Was curious about where you’re from

[@SpeakSpanishFaster]

I'm from DC Area but my Family is from BX!

[@mikecurtis1111]

10:03 I'm new to learning the subjunctive mood, but I thought using Creo que triggers it, so why wouldn't it be Creo que ella vaya llegar tarde?

[@davidbyrne6907]

There an easy way to learn the subjunctive, when there a change in subject ,I want to go to the shop, no change in subject no subjunctive , I want you to go to the shop change in subject, that's much easier to remember, that's it in a nut shell ,when u get that the rest is easier 😊

[@gentlemansenglish321]

¡Muchas gracias! Lo único que no entiendo es qué es ¨impersonal speech¨? Quiero que lo expliques un poquito más en profundidad. Por suerte hay una caso perecida en Aleman, pero eso se utiliza sólo en los periódicos cuando citan a alguien, o cuando queremos ser sarcásticos y realmente no creemos nada de lo que se ha dicho.

[@jkendall6835]

Beginning at 5:20, why is ser shown in the imperfect subjuntive, but all of the others in the present subjunctive. Is ser treated differently? Is present and imperfect subjunctive the same for ser?

[@oh_kdot]

At 11:52 where you put "Si ella tenga tiempo, irá al cine" why would you use tenga there when it should be tienes ??? Plz clarify

[@SpeakSpanishFaster]

Thanks for the question, good catch. It should actually "Si ella tuviera tiempo, iría al cine." Which would be the subjunctive in the imperfect form. That's my mistake. I probably didn't want to get too complex with this. But you could also use the indicative for this sentence if it's a fact that she is coming if she has time.

[@mariag1606]

Si ella tiene tiempo, irá al cine :)

es importante que estudie español mucho para que pueda hablar español, (i got this right?)

[@ChanceB02]

Man I don’t understand any of this but I’m trying. Perhaps I’ll look back soon and say damn I came a long way. 😐

[@megga95]

I’m still struggle with it

[@neodaltiair8624]

Why is there a que after the first verb? 'Creo que' 'Dudo que' 'Espero que'

[@cameroncox2322]

It’s introducing a subjunctive clause so it has to be included. In English we can leave out “that” but it’s necessary in Spanish.

[@shob8516]

5:20 Isn't "ser" supposed to be "sea"?

[@kat27425]

Sea is presente, fuera is imperfecto. So in relation to those other verbs, yes.

[@--sql]

Can someone explain why "Yo quiero hable español" is correct, but if I switch the verb to "learn", it's no longer correct to conjugate "aprender" to the subjunctive? Or is it? "yo quiero aprenda español".

[@Markitous]

Se pueden usar los dos verbos pero tienes que poner el ‘que’ en medio: quiero que enseñe, quiero que aprenda, etc.

[@nasapayrollsystem8701]

Subjunctive in English .. Long live the King.. ( but , he might not )

[@Darnellgenard]

When I have kids ima make sure they momma is pure Latina this ain’t happening to them 🤣🤣🤣 I’m half Dominican but I grew up with English my kids gonna have this easy jajaja

[@leonebritt4879]

I thought it was hablo hablas habla, hablamos hableis hablan - terribly confusing.

[@yungbaby535]

That is indicative. We are talking about subjunctive endings

[@mizfil]

Chico metistes la pata. Where you write, Si ella tenga tiempo, ira al cine. What desire or belief are you expressing? NONE. The way to write that sentence correctly is: Si ella tiene tiempo, ira al cine. Please rewrite that sentence to express a desire or belief (if that is indeed your lesson.) Eso no tiene nada que ver con la leccion. Check your work

[@jholupig1184]

This is too complicated than english hahahaha

[@apuertorican1773]

“Si tenga tiempo, irá all cine” is incorrect. Tengas should be “tiene”. There’s nothing in that sentence triggering subjunctive
