Present Subjunctive Mood

Present Subjunctive

Use the present subjunctive to express influence over actions that subject would or would not like somebody else to do, but cannot directly control. The following formula is often used:

Subject 1 + verb of influence (ind) + que + Subject 2 + action to be done (subj)

(Yo) quiero que (Uds) vengan mañana. - I want you (all) to come tomorrow.

As opposed to:

(Yo) quiero venir mañana. - I want to come tomorrow.
