Hey I've got some phrases that I collected from here


Subjunctive phrases (already formulated)



Que yo recuerde - As far as i remember

Que yo sepa - As far as i know

Cueste lo que cueste - Whatever the cost

Hagan lo que hagan - Whatever they do

Hagamos lo que hagamos - Whatever we do

Pase lo que pase - Whatever happens

Sea lo que sea - Be that as it may

Venga lo que venga

Quienquiera - Whoever

Dondequiera - Wherever

Comoquiera - However

Por ricos/pobres que sean - However rich/poor they may be

Si tuviera mucha influencia yo prohibiría la caza - If i had alot/much influence i would ban hunting. (Imp Sbj & Conditional)



Me da la impresión de que - I have the impression that
Estoy de acuerdo/a - I agree..
Es probable/una lástima/vergonzoso/discutible que + SUBJUNCTIVE - Its probable/a shame/shameful/debatable (use with subj. as doubt exists for some and they are imprsonal expressions)
Pensándolo bien, creo que - On further consideration I think that
Pensándolo bien, NO CREO QUE + subjunctive - On further considerion, I do not think that...
Ya que - Because/given that
Tampoco - neither (use instead of "o" as o can be repetitive)
Si yo fuese ellos/la gente/tú + imp subjunctive - If I was them/the people/you

Structure markers, e.g primeramente, para concluir, para empezar all help boost your mark where there is a mark for quality of response.

Ya sea - whether it be
siquiera - at least
ni siquiera - not even
por otro lado - on the other hand

subjunctive triggers:

"es discutible que"- It is debatable that
"es una lastima que"- It is a pity that
"es vergonzoso que"-It is shameful that

also i like saying "que + subj verb" to mean 'let'
i.e "que no vengan los inmigrantes a nuestro pais"

A-Level Memrise sets have lots of useful vocabulary you could use - will impress the examiner lots (even if you learn a few).
