Can someone help me with the subjunctive tense?
I'm writing a paper for college and I'm terrible with the subjunctive. Here's the instructions:
So you are here… you have survived at least a little bit of campus life and probably have some thoughts on what students should/shouldn’t do to get ready for the first week of classes. Your job is to write an open letter to next year’s incoming students to help them get ready for college. Think of things that you recommend they do (or don’t do) and use the subjunctive (noun clauses) to let them know. Think of things that they should (or shouldn’t) do or have before they get here and use the subjunctive triggering phrases (adverbial clauses) to inform them. Include a little information about what isn’t here too and use the subjunctive (adjectival phrases) to let them know what not to worry about. Got it? Good!
I honestly don't know where to get started. Any tips?

Welcome to SpanishDict. You have to write something. We can't do it for you, but we can and will help you with corrections.
There is no tense called subjunctive. Subjunctive is a mood, like indicative, and there are many tenses for each mood. The subjunctive involves a lot. We have references here that may help you get started.
