El subjuntivo con verbos de emoción (p. 168)
• In Chapter 3, you learned to use the subjunctive in sentences in which someone
expresses their desires, requests, or advice for someone else. Another instance in
which the subjunctive is used is when one person expresses emotion about
someone or something else. Look at the examples below.
Temo que mi amiga se enferme. I am afraid my friend will get sick.
Nos sorprende que el maestro We are surprised that the teacher
nos dé un examen. gives us an exam.
The following list of verbs and expressions are used to indicate emotion:
temer: to be afraid ojalá: I hope or wish
sentir: to regret / be sorry es bueno: it is good
alegrarse de: to be happy es malo: it is bad
esperar: to hope es una lástima: it’s a shame/pity
me, te... gusta: I / you . . . like
me, te... enoja: it angers me, you . . .
