Ir Present Subjunctive Practice

Question 1

Mi jefa quiere que yo ___ a la reunión de mañana. (ir)

Accepted Answer

vaya. Querer que expresses a wish about someone else's action, which triggers the subjunctive. The yo form of ir is vaya, built on the irregular v- stem.

Question 2

Espero que tú ___ al médico antes de que empeore la tos. (ir)

Accepted Answer

vayas. Espero que introduces a hope, a classic subjunctive trigger. The tú form is vayas — saying 'espero que vas' is a very common learner error.

Question 3

Es importante que Diego ___ temprano al aeropuerto. (ir)

Accepted Answer

vaya. Impersonal judgments like es importante que require the subjunctive in the following clause. For él, ir takes the form vaya.

Question 4

Ojalá que nosotros ___ juntos a la feria este año. (ir)

Accepted Answer

vayamos. Ojalá always takes the subjunctive because it expresses a wish. The nosotros form is vayamos — note the v- stem replacing the infinitive entirely.

Question 5

El profesor pide que los alumnos ___ al laboratorio en silencio. (ir)

Accepted Answer

vayan. Pedir que conveys a request about others' behavior, so the subjunctive follows. Los alumnos is plural, which requires vayan.

Question 6

No creo que yo ___ a la fiesta; tengo mucho trabajo. (ir)

Accepted Answer

vaya. No creer que expresses doubt, which switches the verb to the subjunctive. The yo form vaya is identical to the él/ella form — context decides.

Question 7

Le presté el auto a Sofía para que ___ al aeropuerto sin apuros. (ir)

Accepted Answer

vaya. Para que introduces a purpose clause, which always takes the subjunctive. Sofía is the subject of the clause, so ir becomes vaya.

Es mejor que ustedes ___ por la carretera nueva; hay menos tráfico. (ir)

Accepted Answer

vayan. Es mejor que gives advice, an impersonal trigger for the subjunctive. Ustedes pairs with the third person plural form vayan.

Question 9

Question 10

Mamá insiste en que nosotros ___ a saludar a la tía Rosa. (ir)

Accepted Answer

vayamos. Insistir en que imposes one person's will on another, a subjunctive trigger. The nosotros form of ir is vayamos, not the indicative vamos.

Question 11

Mis amigos dudan que yo ___ al maratón este domingo. (ir)

Accepted Answer

vaya. Dudar que expresses doubt about a fact, so the subjunctive follows. Even though the subject is yo, the form vaya has no -o ending.

Question 12

Antes de que usted ___ a la entrevista, revise su currículum. (ir)

Accepted Answer

vaya. Antes de que always takes the subjunctive because the action hasn't happened yet. Usted uses the third person singular form vaya.

vayan. Ojalá expresses a hope and always demands the subjunctive. Here ir a + infinitive itself goes into the subjunctive: vayan a pasar.

Question 14

Quiero que vosotros ___ al ensayo del coro esta tarde. (ir)

Accepted Answer

vayáis. Querer que triggers the subjunctive for the other person's action. The vosotros form is vayáis, with an accent on the á — not the indicative vais.
