A Special Verb Form
‘Traiga’ is the special verb form (present subjunctive) used after expressions of desire, doubt, or necessity (e.g., Es necesario que, Dudo que, Quiero que).
Formal Command
This form is also the formal way to give a command to one person (usted): 'Traiga el libro' (Bring the book).
Forgetting the 'g'
Mistake: “Quiero que yo traía mi coche.”
Correction: Quiero que yo traiga mi coche. The verb 'traer' is irregular and needs the 'g' in the subjunctive forms.
