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....?

Laepelba mira a esta pagina número dos

http://www.braser.com/spanish-subjun...pressions.html

cuando (referring to the future) - "when"

El subjuntivo = muy difícil

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.
