"Espero que mis padres vengan".

"Espero que mis padres vengan".

Estaba leyendo que el uso de subjuntivo futuro no se usa mucho ya.

¿Entonces esta frase en la titula puede significar "I hope my parents come" o "I hope my parents will come?

Muchas Gracias,

Tim

Your sentence is perfect.

The future subjunctive (no longer used) would be: Espero que mis padren vinieren. So you are better off sticking to the present subjunctive. The present in Spanish is often used to express an immediate future.

En esto caso, como se dice "I hope my parents will come [next year]"?

"Espero que mis padres vengan el año que viene"?

Ya sé que es un poco superfluo, pero sólo para aclarar.

Gracias

Yes. Your phrase is correct. The present subjunctive takes care of it. - francobollo, Nov 16, 2012
