When you say ;i you go to ra>il, you 0ill ha3e a good time,; the 3er6 ;go; is in the su6uncti3e mood 6ecause it is an assumption not a statement o act.
5here is actually a semantic role or the use o the su6uncti3e. When you translate ;# he accepts,...; you could say ;se ele aceitar,...; (su6uncti3e) or ;se ele aceita, ...; (indicati3e). 5he ormer implies that you don$t &no0 i he 0ill accept or not. 5he latter implies that it has 6een esta6lished that he does accept, and no0 you are tal&ing a6out the conseuences. 6it su6tle, 6ut # ind rather pretty. ost 3er6s are conugated in a simple 0ay to get the uture su6uncti3e.

Mnortunately, the irregular 3er6s are among the most commonly used 3er6s (i it 0eren$t the case, the nati3es 0ouldn$t remem6er the irregular conugations ). 5W, ;i it 0eren$t; is in the su6uncti3e mood in English .
