Daniela continues her lesson on the present subjunctive, using the verbs parlare [to speak], vedere [to see], and partire [to leave].

Daniela homes in on the present subjunctive of the auxiliary verb essere [to be].

Daniela covers the present subjunctive for the following verbs: avere [to have], andare [to go], fare [to do], and bere [to drink],

Daniela covers the present subjunctive of these three verbs: rimanere [to remain, to stay], venire [to come], and dire [to say].

Daniela provides a list of verbs that always come before the subjunctive mood verbs. We'll see, however, that English doesn't follow the same rules.

Daniela provides a nice long list of the so-called perception verbs and expressions that always precede the present subjunctive.

Daniela highlights two verbs that do not call for the present subjunctive—the verbs vedere [to see] and sentire [to sense, to hear, to feel].

Daniela continues with verbs that require the present subjunctive, calling attention to the all-important verb sperare [to hope].

Daniela focuses on verbs and expressions that express uncertainty or doubt, and require the use of the subjunctive.

Daniela talks about a special case scenario in which a verb in the infinitive may replace the subjunctive form in the subordinate clause. Learning this rule can make using certain verbs easier. She goes on to talk about impersonal forms of verbs where we need the subjunctive. This scenario is quite different from English, so we need to pay close attention.

Daniela works on the expressions where the verb essere [to be] is followed the subjunctive in the subordinate clause. The expressions include: È una fortuna [It's a bit of luck] and È un peccato [It's a shame].

The previous lesson ended with the verb essere (to be) plus adjectives. Now, Daniela goes on to tell us about the verb essere plus adverbs and then teaches us about a great shortcut for avoiding the subjunctive when using the word basta [it's enough, just]. Normally, basta signals the need for the subjunctive, but Daniela offers up some examples where the infinitive verb works best.

There are some special conjunctions that take the subjunctive and then che (that). There are several of them but they're quite similar to one another. Little by little, as you hear them used, they'll become part of your vocabulary.

Daniela goes over words or expressions that trigger the use of the subjunctive, including affinché (so that), a meno che (unless), and senza che (without).

Daniela covers comparative sentences that require the use of the subjunctive.
