💡 Grammar Points
The Subjunctive Mood
'Entremos' is the special form of the verb used when expressing wishes, doubts, or emotions about the action of 'us entering.' This form follows certain trigger phrases like 'Quiero que...' (I want that...).
Trigger Phrases
Look for phrases expressing influence ('pedir que'), emotion ('alegrarse de que'), or impersonal necessity ('es necesario que'). These typically require the subjunctive form like 'entremos' in the second part of the sentence.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Mixing Subjunctive and Indicative
Mistake: "Ella quiere que entramos. (Using the normal present tense 'entramos')"
Correction: Ella quiere que entremos. (The desire of the first person makes the second verb change form.)
⭐ Usage Tips
Timing Tip
Even though this form is called 'Present Subjunctive,' it often refers to actions that will happen in the future, like 'I want that we enter tomorrow.'
