8)+Uses+of+the+Subjunctive+-+After+Certain+Conjuctions

=This page is information on the use of subjunctive after certain conjunctions. We will //eXpLoRe// 4 different rules about the subjunctive tense! =

When I see these sayings, I should use subjunctive verbs!
por ejemplo: No recibes tu dinero a menos de que limpies tu cuarto. You won't receive your money unless you clean your room. por ejemplo: En caso de que lo pierda, tengo un extra. In case he loses it, i have an extra.
 * **a menos de que**: unless
 * **en caso de que**: in case
 * **antes de que**: before - You must have the "que" in order for the saying to need a subjunctive verb. Otherwise it's a preposition.
 * **para que**: so, in order that
 * **con tal de que**: provided

When a verb follows a //preposition//, DON'T use the subjunctive, even if it seems you would use it! Use the __infinitive__!
Por ejemplo:
 * Limpió su dormitorio //para// __recibi__r su dinero. (He cleaned his room to recieve his money)
 * Come tu comida //antes de// __salir__ de la mesa. (Eat your food before leaving the table)

When I see these sayings that refer to the future, I should use subjunctive verbs!
Por ejemplo: Cuando salgas, limpiaré. When you leave, i'll clean.
 * **Cuando**: when
 * **En cuanto**: as soon as
 * **después de que**: after
 * **hasta que**: until
 * **tan pronto como**: as soon as

DON'T use subjunctive if the action happens regularly or already happened (past tense). Use the __indicative__.
Por ejemplo: Cuando come, él come mucho. When he eats, he eats a lot. Ella necesitaba a limpiar su cuarto. She needed to clean her room.
