Questions & Answers about Yo doy el permiso para que ustedes faciliten el acceso.
Why is faciliten in the subjunctive here instead of the regular present tense?
What if I was both giving the permission AND facilitating the access? Would I still use para que?
No, if the same person does both actions, you don't use que or the subjunctive. You simply use para followed by the infinitive (the dictionary form of the verb). It would be: Doy el permiso para facilitar el acceso (I give the permission in order to facilitate the access).
How do we build the subjunctive form faciliten?
Start with the present tense 'yo' form of the verb facilitar (facilito), drop the 'o', and add the 'opposite' verb endings. Because facilitar is an '-ar' verb, it takes '-er/-ir' endings in the subjunctive. The ending for ustedes is '-en', giving us faciliten.
Why does the sentence say el permiso instead of just permiso?
