Quick Sentence Check

Question

I'm currently proof reading another member's paper and i came upon something that I'm not so sure about:

Is subjunctive necessary for this sentence, and if so, how should it be used?

"Me siento muy feliz cuando corro."

It's been a while since i studied grammar so i need some refreshers, Thanks!

Answer 1

Aquí van algunos ejemplos:

"Me siento feliz cuando corro"

"Me siento feliz cada vez que corro"

Cuando / Cada vez que corro, me siento feliz y saludable.

Quiero sentirme saludable, por eso corro todas las mañanas.

I think this is acceptable so i chose it but i also heard "Me siento feliz al correr" as a posible answer - 00f8fe7d, Jun 5, 2011

Answer 2

Good question.

Since you aren't actually running in that sentence, correr may possibly need to be in the present subjunctive:

Me siento muy feliz cuando corra.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. (Like I have to ask. )

See that's what i woulda done, i think that's right. - 00f8fe7d, Jun 5, 2011

Feel free to un-accept this answer if someone tells me I'm wrong. :) - Tosh, Jun 5, 2011

Answer 3

Me siento muy feliz cuando corro. With cuando subjunctive is used for future events. Cuando doesn't just "trigger" subjunctive right off the bat.

Me siento feliz cuando corro. (you know this already, there is no doubt of how you feel)

Cuando la vea la voy a saludar a ella. When I see her...... (future action which may not happen, therefore subjunctive)

Answer 4

i think corro is fine. with first person we use corro.

I agree with the indicative mood, but see my response in his other thread containing this sentence.

Can someone check my conjugation and fix it?

Answer 5
