French Grammar – Would you like Juan to come to our wedding? 🇫🇷

Aimeriez-vous que Juan ___ à notre mariage?

The correct answer is “vienne.” This is the correct form of the verb “venir” (to come) in the subjunctive mood.

In this sentence, the phrase “aimeriez-vous que” (would you like) introduces a hypothetical or uncertain action, which requires the subjunctive form of the verb in French. When using the verb “venir” after “que,” it must be conjugated in the third-person singular subjunctive form, which is “vienne.”

In the subjunctive mood, the verb forms are often different from the indicative forms and are used to express doubt, uncertainty, possibility, or a subjective opinion.

To form the subjunctive mood of regular -ir ending verbs like “venir,” you typically take the third-person plural present tense indicative form (in this case “viennent”) and replace the “-ent” ending with the appropriate endings corresponding to the subject pronouns. The subjunctive form for the third-person singular “il/elle/on” is “vienne.”

Other examples of the subjunctive mood with “aimeriez-vous que” would be:

Aimeriez-vous que Marie mange à notre mariage?
– Would you like Marie to eat at our wedding?

Aimeriez-vous que nous fassions une danse spéciale?
– Would you like us to do a special dance?

It’s important to note that the subjunctive mood is commonly used in French when expressing desires, wishes, preferences, doubts, and opinions.
