Another need for the mood tense is after para que, which means so that. For example,
- We have cooked so that (in order that) they eat. - Hemos cocinado para que coman.
Volver means to go back or to return (related to revolve).
- I return - vuelvo
- You return (informal) - vuelves
- So that you return - para que vuelvas (using the mood tense)
If you want to say I have done it so that you return. The version of hacer after haber is hecho (which als means fact).
- I have done it so that you return - Lo he hecho para que vuelvas
- They have done it so that we come back - Lo han hecho para que volvamos
Sometimes you will hear para que abbreviated to pa' que
Finally, Mihalis reminds us that the word for so is tan. The word for also is tambien, which includes tan, though the 'n' changed to an 'm'. Literally tambien is so well, or as well. Which will help me remember tan, because I don't have a problem remembering tambien. Likely because I use it a lot in conversation.
- so that you also return - para que vuelvas tu tambien or para que tambien vuelvas
This video I include so I can remember the song my friend Karen told me about. She suggested it after I told her about how cute the video was for La Melodía and the story about the childhood friends meeting up again as adults. This video is literally the story of childhood friends falling in love and growing old together. It's very sweet.
