writing a letter in spanish

Question

how do you say, 'I hope this letter will make sense'?? I wrote, 'Espero que esa carta tuviere sentido.' is that completely wrong or??

Answer 1

when do you use the subjunctuve form then??

Answer 2

You are using the subjunctive but in the present tense. Tenga is the present subjunctive of the verb tener.

Answer 3

Hi Musicman,

Tuviere is a future subjunctive conjugation form rarely used nowadays. I'd say: Espero que esta carta tenga sentido.
