Conocer Present Subjunctive Practice

Conocer (to know (people, places)) in the present subjunctive: 14 free exercises with an explanation after every answer, plus the full conjugation table.

14 exercisesIrregular yoB1 – B2 level
IWhat to watch for

In the present subjunctive, conocer keeps the -zc- of the yo form in every person: conozca, conozcas, conozca, conozcamos, conozcáis, conozcan. The stem is conozc- throughout, never conoc-.

These forms appear after triggers of wish, doubt or the unknown — espero que conozcas, ojalá conozcan, busco a alguien que conozca. The classic error is writing conoca; the c always becomes zc.
