Subjunctive Weirdo Practice E & D Weirdo worksheet - Free Printable

Explanation:
This worksheet is about using the subjunctive mood with doubt or uncertainty in Spanish. When we express doubt, denial, disbelief, or uncertainty (e.g., *It’s possible*, *I don’t know*, *It’s unlikely*, *I doubt*, etc.), the verb that follows *que* must be in the subjunctive form — not the indicative.

Let’s go through each sentence one by one and fill in the blanks with correct Spanish structures:

1. *It’s possible* → Es posible
*that Miguel* → que Miguel
*gets a job* → Since it's uncertain ("possible"), use subjunctive of *conseguir*: consiga
✔ Es posible que Miguel consiga un trabajo.

2. *Do you deny* → ¿Niegas (you deny)
*that there are environmental classes?* → *que haya clases ambientales?*
“There are” = *hay* (indicative), but after *niegas que*, we need subjunctive: haya
✔ ¿Niegas que haya clases ambientales?

3. *I don’t know* → No sé
*that we are going to the meeting this afternoon.* → *que vayamos a la reunión esta tarde.*
After *no sé que*, use subjunctive: *vayamos* (we go)
✔ No sé que vayamos a la reunión esta tarde.

4. *It doesn’t seem* → No parece
*that the class solves all the problems.* → *que la clase resuelva todos los problemas.*
After *no parece que*, use subjunctive: *resuelva*
✔ No parece que la clase resuelva todos los problemas.

5. *It’s unlikely* → Es improbable (or *Es poco probable*)
*that she’s lying to me.* → *que ella me esté mintiendo.*
But more naturally in standard subjunctive: *que ella me mienta.*
However, for ongoing action (“is lying”), we can use present subjunctive of *mentir*: mienta
✔ Es improbable que ella me mienta.
(Note: Some might use *esté mintiendo*, but in formal grammar exercises, simple present subjunctive is expected.)

6. *It’s doubtful* → Es dudoso
*that the old man is on the plane.* → *que el hombre viejo esté en el avión.*
Subjunctive of *estar* → esté
✔ Es dudoso que el hombre viejo esté en el avión.

7. *José doesn’t think* → José no piensa
*that we recycle plastic.* → *que nosotros reciclemos el plástico.*
Subjunctive of *reciclar* → reciclemos
✔ José no piensa que nosotros reciclemos el plástico.

8. *My parents and I doubt* → Mis padres y yo dudamos
*that they serve us.* → *que ellos nos sirvan.*
Subjunctive of *servir* → sirvan
✔ Mis padres y yo dudamos que ellos nos sirvan.

9. *Martina is not sure* → Martina no está segura (but often simplified to Martina no sabe)
However, the prompt says “Is not sure” → best: Martina no está segura
But in many textbooks, they accept Martina no sabe or just Martina duda — but here the English says “Is not sure”, so:
✔ Martina no está segura que las comidas incluyan las espinacas.
Wait — *incluye* is 3rd person singular, but subject is *la comida* (singular), so *incluir* → incluya (subjunctive)
So: Martina no está segura que la comida incluya las espinacas.
(Note: The blank says “las comidas” — plural — but likely a typo; still, if plural, *incluyan*.)
Given the blank: *las comidas* → plural → incluyan
✔ Martina no está segura que las comidas incluyan las espinacas.

10. *My cousins don’t believe* → Mis primos no creen
*that you maintain good shape.* → *que tú mantengas buena forma.*
Subjunctive of *mantener* → mantengas
✔ Mis primos no creen que tú mantengas buena forma.

11. *It’s likely* → Es probable
*that the food contains a high level of vitamins.*
BUT: “It’s likely” is not a trigger for subjunctive — it’s *certainty*, so we use indicative!
Important: Words like *es probable*, *es posible*, *es seguro*, *creo que*, etc. — only *negative* or *doubtful* expressions require subjunctive.
Actually:
- *Es probable que...* → subjunctive is traditionally taught, though modern usage sometimes uses indicative. In school exercises, they expect subjunctive.
So: *contenga* (subjunctive of *contener*)
✔ Es probable que la comida contenga un alto nivel de vitaminas.

12. *I don’t imagine* → Yo no imagino
*that she sets the table.* → *que ella ponga la mesa.*
Subjunctive of *poner* → ponga
✔ Yo no imagino que ella ponga la mesa.

13. *Don’t suppose* → No supongas (imperative, but subject is *Tú*, so imperative fits)
Or: *Tú no supones que...* → better: Tú no supones que tengamos clases mañana.
But the blank says: *Tú ________ que ________ clases mañana.*
English: *Don’t suppose* → it's a command: “Don’t suppose…” → No supongas
Then: *que tengamos clases mañana.* (subjunctive of *tener*)
✔ Tú no supongas que tengamos clases mañana.
Alternatively, if it's陈述 (statement), *Tú no supones que tengamos...* — but the English says “Don’t suppose”, so imperative is intended.

Now let’s compile all answers clearly:

1. Es posible — consiga
2. Niegas — haya
3. No sé — vayamos
4. No parece — resuelva
5. Es improbable — mienta
6. Es dudoso — esté
7. No piensa — reciclemos
8. Dudamos — sirvan
9. No está segura — incluyan
10. No creen — mantengas
11. Es probable — contenga
12. No imagino — ponga
13. No supongas — tengamos

Double-check subjunctive forms:
- consiga ✔️
- haya ✔️
- vayamos ✔️
- resuelva ✔️
- mienta ✔️
- esté ✔️
- reciclemos ✔️
- sirvan ✔️
- incluyan ✔️
