Give 5 examples of when the subjunctive is used in Spanish.

One use of the subjunctive is when expressing desires: Quiero que me digas la verdad. Ojalá que tuviera mas dinero! Another use is for formal commands in the imperative: Sientese aqui. Salgan de la casa, por favor. The subjunctive is used in negative expressions: No creo que sea muy difícil. No me mientas, Jorge! It is used in conditional structures: Si yo tuviera mas dinero, podría viajar por todo el mundo. Si hubiera pensado mas, no habríamos terminado en esta situación. It is used to describe hypothetical situations: Cuando me jubile, me mudare a España con mi esposo. Buscamos un hombre que tenga todas las habilidades necesarias.
