Dar (to give) in the present subjunctive: 14 free exercises with an explanation after every answer, plus the full conjugation table.

14 exercisesIrregularB1 – B2 level
IWhat to watch for

Dar has a short, irregular present subjunctive: dé, des, dé, demos, deis, den. The yo and él forms are written dé with an accent — this tilde is what separates the verb dé from the everyday preposition de.

The trap is dropping that accent or slipping back to the indicative da or damos after a trigger. Expressions like dar las gracias, dar una mano and dar ejemplo all take these forms once quiero que, espero que or ojalá appears in front of them.
