Maybe?
To be honest though, The tape cannot be studied for, bar El Tiempo.
It's generally manageable. As for the Opinion Pieces, They can never divert from the cirricculum. Like whatever the title, if you know the course, you can be 100% sure you will be fine!
Buen Suerte! Espero que todo vaya excelente!0 -

For diaries and stuff I'm just going over all my vocab sheets and my oral notes. They often ask about a holiday/new house/new school so my oral notes come in handy.
Cyber bullying is "ciberacoso"
Cool, same really. There's always a feeling of being unprepared for that part! 0 -

Buena Suerte!
And yes, it's tener cuidado as randy said. It's hard to conjugate imperatives in the vosotros form (for me anyway, because I'm lazy), so you could just use "deberíais tener cuidado" which is like you should take care. 0 -

http://www.lingolex.com/swom/wom-subj.htm I found this while I was double checking esperar que + subj (French doesn't take subjunctive after the verb "to hope", so I wasn't 100% sure for Spanish :P) and it's quite good. It's a bit of a "brief" subjunctive overview and you don't even need to know all the stuff listed on it, but a phrase or two could be no harm. Personally I think the ones that change meaning with the subjunctive would be the handiest - cuando/mientras/siempre for example.

Gracias.
It is for "I hope" as you are expressing doubt. you do not know something will happen so it takes the subjuntive.
If it Creo it doesn't and if it's No creo, it does.
I think I'm ok as I have set phrases learned 0 -

I think I'm ok as I have set phrases learned Make sure to remember, though, that dudo takes subjunctive and it's no dudo that doesn't. A lot of people fall into the trap of seeing dudo is affirmative and just assuming it isn't subjunctive - but it is. Another very easy trigger is "no pienso que". So if your learned ones don't seem to be fitting and you really want to put one in, just write something you doubt or don't think. 0 -

So i'm a little confused as to what comes next.
For example, No pienso que las mujeres y los hombres son iguales. What exactly is the subjunctive?
To avoid it, you could say, Pienso que, Las mujeres y los hombres no son iguales?0 -

You'd say "no pienso que sean iguales" - the subjunctive reinforces the doubt which the "no pienso" implies. You could say that second sentence, but I think it's a bit like if you said "I think men and woman are not equal", it's perfectly fine but I think the first sounds a bit more natural.outnumbered wrote: »So i'm a little confused as to what comes next.

I'm trying to think of ways to explain how I look at it, but I think it'd be really confusing and probably make it sound way more complicated than it actually is. :P There are a lot of English constructions that turn subjunctive when you translate them - e.g. "I want <person> to <verb>" turns into "Quiero que <person> <subjunctive verb>". With words as an example, you might say "I want <John> to <be happy>," which would turn into quiero que John (Juan? :pac:) sea feliz. Unfortunately the "no pienso que" construction doesn't really happen in English, so it's hard to equate it. The main thing to remember is "no pienso que" makes the next verb subjunctive. 0
