Questions & Answers about Recomiendo que no bajes por el tobogán todavía.
Why is the verb bajes in the subjunctive here instead of the indicative bajas?
The verb recomendar expresses a request or recommendation. When you use a verb of influence like this followed by que and a change of subject (I recommend that you do it), it always triggers the subjunctive for the second verb.
Does putting no before the verb change the subjunctive rule?
Not at all! The subjunctive is triggered entirely by recomiendo que. Whether you are recommending that someone does something (bajes) or does not do something (no bajes), the second verb must be in the subjunctive.
Why do we use the preposition por for going down the slide?
Why does the word tobogán have a written accent mark?
In Spanish, when a word's spoken stress falls on the very last syllable and it ends in a vowel, an 'n', or an 's', it needs a written accent. Since the stress is on the final syllable of tobogán, the accent mark on the 'a' is required.
