Questions & Answers about Nosotros escribimos el resumen para que el gerente garantice y facilite el proyecto.

Why are garantice and facilite in the subjunctive?
They follow the phrase para que (so that), which expresses the purpose of an action. Whenever you use para que and the person doing the second action is different from the person doing the first action, you must use the subjunctive. Here, we write the summary, but the manager is the one who guarantees the project.
Why is garantice spelled with a c instead of a z?
The infinitive verb is garantizar. In Spanish spelling rules, a z changes to a c whenever it is followed by the letter e. Because the present subjunctive ending for this verb is an e, the spelling must change to garantice to maintain the correct pronunciation.
Why does facilite end in an e if the verb is facilitar?
That is how the present subjunctive is formed. For regular -ar verbs like facilitar, the subjunctive endings swap to look like -er or -ir endings. Since the manager is a third-person singular subject, the correct ending is e.
Could I just say para el gerente garantizar instead of using para que?
No, in Spanish you cannot follow para with a new person and an infinitive verb like you can in English. When the subject changes from us to the manager, you must use para que followed by a conjugated verb in the subjunctive.
