Questions & Answers about Es probable que haga prácticas en una empresa de tecnología el próximo semestre.

Why is haga used instead of hace or haré?

Because es probable que normally triggers the subjunctive in Spanish.

In this sentence, the speaker is not stating a fact; they are expressing possibility or uncertainty. After expressions like:

• es probable que
• es posible que
• es importante que
• es bueno que

Spanish usually uses the subjunctive in the next clause.

So:

• Es probable que haga prácticas... = correct
• Es probable que hace prácticas... = incorrect
• Es probable que haré prácticas... = incorrect

Why is it the present subjunctive if the sentence talks about next semester?

In Spanish, the present subjunctive is often used for actions that are future from the speaker’s point of view, especially after a subjunctive trigger like es probable que.

So haga here does not mean the action is happening now. It means the action is possible in the future.

A useful pattern is:

• present main verb
  • present subjunctive for a present or future unreal/uncertain action

For example:

• Es probable que venga mañana
• Es posible que estudie en Madrid el año que viene

So haga is completely normal even though the internship would happen later.

How is haga formed from hacer?
