Misc. Info:  You should also be able to describe, using the subjunctive mood, your ideal family or ideal mate. Be sure to set up your sentences appropriately. For example, to talk about either topic, you would have to have a S1V1+que=S2V2 structure: I want my ideal family to be fun, I want that we go to a lot of baseball games; I want that my ideal girlfriend be tall, I want that she be rich/intelligent, etc. Besure to review your subjunctive formation, and especially your irregular subjunctive verbs (SIDES).
