Today write present subjunctive sentences with "Abrazar"
The subjunctive is used to express the same three basic ideas in both the Present and Imperfect Subjunctives. Whenever the main clause expresses any of the three, the second (subordinate) clause has to be in the subjunctive. When one person expresses his will that someone else do something..even inferred indirectly.
Les pido que no las abran. I’m asking you not to open them. Insisten en que bailemos. They insist that we dance. Es lástima que no pueda venir. It’s a pitty that she can’t come. I suggest that she come at once. Sugiero que venga en seguida. I suggested that she come at once. Sugíri que viniera en seguida. They demand that we be there on time. Exijian que estemos allí a tiempo. They demanded that we be there on time. Exigieron que estuviéramos allí a tiempo.
After expressions of emotion, or if hope is implied May the New Year bring you joy. Que el año nuevo le traiga alegría. May God be with you and keep you. Que Dios esté contigo y le guarde.
When the subjunctive involves unreality, something indefinite, uncertain, or contrary to fact: It is possible that he may not come. Es possible que no venga. It was possible that he might not come. Era possible que no viniera. If I were you, I’d read this carefully. Si yo fuera Ud. leería esto con cuidado.
When the main clause expresses doubt, denial, or unreality. ¿Es possible que valga tanto? Is it possible that it’s worth so much? Niega que se lo hayan dado. He denies that they have given it to them.
When the conjunction that introduces the subordinate clause makes the action uncertain, indefinite, doutful. En caso de que lo veas…. In case yousee him… No se lo diremos a menos que insistan. We will not tell them unless they insist. Aunque quiera ayudarme, no la dejaré. Even if she wants to help me, I will not let her. Aunque quisiera ayudarme, no la dejaría. Even if she wanted to help me, I would not let her. Yo iré con tal que tú vayas tambie. I will go if you will go too.
A conjunction of time intriduces an action that has not yet been completed. Cuándo suene el timbre, abra la puerta. When the doorbell rings, open the door.
When a subordinate clause refers to something that is indefinite, hypothetical, or non-existent. No hay nadie que baile como ella. There is no one who dances like her. Busco un libro que tenga todas las respuestas. I’m looking for a book with all the answers.
The word (si) is used in the present indicative unless it refers to something contrary to fact. A sure giveaway is when the conditional (contrary to fact) is used in the main clause. Si tuviera tiempo, lo haría. Or Lo haría, si tuviera tiempo. I would do it , if I had time.
Main clause expresses doubt or uncertainty about the following action, or denies that it ever took place. Dudo que vengan. I doubt that they will come. Dudaba que vinieran. I doubted that they camme. No estoy seguro de que esté abierto. I’m not sure that its open. No estaba seguro de que estuviera abierto. I was not sure that it was open.
Some impersonal expressions are always followed by the subjunctive. Es possible/impossible que… Es probable/improbable que… No es verdad/No es cierto que… Es fácil (likely)/difícil (unlikely) que… Antes de que (before)…
If the subject doesn’t change, then we only have one clause and no subjunctive. Espero venir. I hope to come. Me alegro de estar con Uds. I’m happy to be with you all.

Cuando venga tu abuelo, ¡abrazale muy fuertemente!. When your grandfather comes, hug him tight! . Is this right, a risky sentence.. ? - annierats 5 mins ago
Yes,Annierats... When your grandfather comes (he hasn’t yet…thus, subjunctive)…is the subordinate clause. A subordinate clause does not have to be the second sentence in rotation.
Hug him tightly! You can use an imperative in your primary clause. Students get confused by this. (mainly because they think that they are placing two subjunctives in back to back clauses. This is not true.
The truth is, the imperative spelling comes from the subjunctive….but is not itself a subjunctive.
Yes,Annierats, Yes. ¡Abraza….is a 2nd person familiar command from the imperative. The imperative spellings come from the subjunctive. Not vise versa. Imperatives are not subjunctives. The subjunctive in this sentence is due to the conjunction of time “cuando”.
“cuando” sets the mood of an non completed action – subjunctive. ?
Very nicely written, Annierats. Worth the points ? Viejito
