Would these sentences be in the subjunctive mood?

Question

Would these sentences be in the subjunctive? How would you say them? I'm in Spain right now on exchange and have a billion questions about how to say things.

-I didn't want you to come.

-I didn't think you would go.

-Maybe it would be better if you didn't come.

Answer 1

-I didn't want you to come.

No quise que vengas (if he finally did not come)

No quería que vinieras (If he came or not)

-I didn't think you would go.

No pensé que fueras (if he finally did not go)

No pensé que irías (if he finally went)

-Maybe it would be better if you didn't come.

Quizás sería mejor si no vinieras/ vinieses (to prevent his coming over)

Quizás hubiera sido mejor que no vinieras (If he came)

Answer 2

Hi,

"No quise que vinieras." : I didn't want you to come.

"No pensé que te fueras." : I didn't think that you would go.

"Quizas sería mejor si no hubieras venido." : Maybe it would be better if you didn't come.

Yes you need to use Subjunctive but, Imperfect subjunctive as the sentence is not present like: "I don't want you to come."

Answer 3

I'm from Seville, where are you?

• I didn't want you to come.

• No quería que vinieras/vinieses. (Yo no quería que tu vinieras/vinieses). This way is direct, pretérito imperfecto modo indicativo + preterito imperfecto modo subjuntivo

• No quise que vinieras. (Yo no quise que tu vinieras). This way is more polite, "I didn't want for some unconvenient", pretérito perfecto simple modo indicativo + preterito imperfecto modo subjuntivo

I didn't think you would go.

No pensé que ibas a ir.

No pensaba que ibas a ir

Maybe it would be better if you didn't come. Tal vez, habría sido mejor si no hubieras venido. (condicional perfecto modo indicativo + pretérito pluscuamperfecto modo subjuntivo

I hope be useful. Roberto

Wouldn't creer be better than pensar here? - lorenzo9, Oct 31, 2010

In that context I think not. Thanks - RobertoSpain, Oct 31, 2010
