We’ve
studied already the use of the present subjunctive in subordinate clauses of
sentences in which the main verb expresses a suggestion ( sugerencia), advice
( consejo) , request ( petición), a wish ( deseo), emoción (
emoción) like and dislike (
verbos de preferencia), doubt
( duda) or denial ( negación).
It’s also used after impersonal expressions coveying one of
these meanings. Like: Es importante que… , es posible que ….., es dudoso que….,
es mejor que..es
imposible que….
Now
we’re going to introduce another uses of the present subjunctive:
Talking
about hypothetical situations with the subjunctive in adjective clauses.

An
adjective clause is a kind of subordinate clause .
Adjective clauses are used to describe a preceding noun or pronoun (referred to
as the antecedent) in the main clause of the sentence.
In Spanish, the
subjunctive is used in the
adjective clause when it describes
something whose existence is unknown or uncertain.
Example:
Busco
un
novio* que
sea honesto, leal y considerado.
(main
clause)
(subordinate clause: adjective clause)
*Unknown antecedent
When
the adjective clause describes a factual
situation ( someone or
something
that is known to exist, the
indicative is used.
Quiero
visitar un pueblo* mejicano que
esté situado cerca de la playa .
(main clause)
(subordinate clause: adjective clause)
*unknown antecedent
(verb in the subjunctive)
Quiero
visitar el pueblo* mejicano que
está situado cerca de la playa .
(main clause)
(subordinate clause: adjective clause)
*known
antecedent
(verb in the indicative)
