Volver Present Subjunctive Practice

Volver (to return, to come back) in the present subjunctive: 14 free exercises with an explanation after every answer, plus the full conjugation table.

14 exercisesStem-changing o→ueB1 – B2 level
IWhat to watch for

In the present subjunctive, volver keeps its o→ue stem change in the boot forms: vuelva, vuelvas, vuelva and vuelvan. Only nosotros (volvamos) and vosotros (volváis) keep the original o, exactly as in the present indicative.

The classic mistake is writing vuelvamos for nosotros — it must be volvamos. These forms appear after triggers like espero que, ojalá, no creo que, cuando and para que, which set up wishes, doubts and pending actions.
