All yo-go verbs in Spanish, i.e verbs where the yo form ends in -go in El Presente, take that same stem to form El Presente de Subjuntivo and keep it all the way through the conjugation. However, the El Presente de Subjuntivo endings are the same as regular -er and -ir verbs endings.
Have a look a the following table showing two common verbs, tener (to have) and venir (to come):
| TENER to have |
VENIR to come |
|
| yo | tenga | venga |
| tú | tengas | vengas |
|
él / ella |
tenga | venga |
| nosotros nosotras |
tengamos | vengamos |
| vosotros vosotras |
tengáis | vengáis |
| ellos / ellas ustedes |
tengan | vengan |
Have a look and listen to these examples:
¿Dígame? - Hola, ¿puedo hablar con Juan?[on the phone, lit: speak to me] Hello? - Hello, may I speak to Juan?
