Okay - I lied. I don't understand why it's "vaya" instead of "iré". I haven't really studied the subjunctive in depth, but I always thought it was a resulting clause following a non-subjunctive bit and then "que". Hmmm....? :thinking:

Thanks, Bob - that's a great resource. You're right - the subjunctive is difficult. I have put off studying it in depth because there are some more basic things that I haven't yet learned and want to focus on those things! :)

All you have to study, really, is the conjugation of the verb you are interested at the moment. All of its modes and tenses.
