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).
