¡Bienvenido a nuestro hilo! Each weekend, Cordobesa and I will present a different topic on everybody’s favorite subject… the subjunctive!

We will give an explanation of the topic, and a couple of examples.

Write sentences at least 5 words long. Write your Spanish sentence, and include the English translation as well. Make the corrections suggested by Cordobesa in the comments section. Use your own words! (Don't use a translator, copy from a book, use song lyrics, etc.)

Post pictures if you’d like, and don’t forget to vote on the sentences you like best. The winner will be chosen based upon the correct use of the topic as well as the number of votes.

¡Vamos allá!

Weekend Subjunctive Practice 5: Hasta que

Explanation:

Just like after “cuando”, from Weekend Subjunctive Practice 1, when “hasta que” refers to an idea or time in the future, the subjunctive is used when you conjugate the verb that follows.

Examples:

Os espero aquí hasta que lleguéis.

I will wait for you here until you arrive.

Me quedaré en casa hasta que termine la lluvia.

I’ll wait at home until after the rain. (until the rain ends)

¡Os toca a vosotros!

esfuerzo segundo: Segundo intento:

Hasta que el evento llegue y termine, el llega y termina la planificadora del evento se mantiene muy ocupada.

Further suggestion: O en el futuro, con subjuntivo: "Hasta que el evento llegue y termine, la planificadora del evento se mantendrá muy ocupada".

Until the event arrives and finishes, the event planner is kept very busy.

Bandit, the reason your verbs are in the indicative is because this is an habitual event for the event planner. :) - Tosh, Dec 9, 2014
Thanks for the correction, Bibi, and for the extra information, Tosh. I still don't think I have this so I'd like to try one more time. I know you are "swamped" so if you can't get to it that's okay! - bandit51jd, Dec 9, 2014
