Hello everyone. Back with another subjunctive. Ignore the grammar. Embrace the pattern. Two cups, same main word. The subjunctive word we’re going to play with is pudiera-I could. First cup is “I wish I could…” “ Ojalá pudiera…my examples: i wish I could go to the cinema, I wish I could read Latin, I wish I could learn Arabic. The next one is similar. “If I could…”. “Si pudiera…” my examples: if I could speak, I would do it, if I could, I would do it for you, and if I could, I would cancel it.
Asking a question doesn’t use the same verb for ojalá pudiera so for less confusion I didn’t do a question cup. So, what would you like to say for I wish I could… or if I could…? Please feel free to share notebook style, linguablox, whatever method you choose. I use canva cups for these or linguablox so you don’t have to figure out how to read my writing, lol. Grammar lesson will be in the comment if you’re interested.
