Questions & Answers about ¡Que encuentres pronto a tu amiga en el andén!
Why does this sentence start with Que instead of Espero que?
Starting a sentence with Que followed by the subjunctive is a common way to express a wish, hope, or command in Spanish. You can think of it as a shortened version of Espero que (I hope that). Here, Que encuentres means May you find or I hope you find.
Why is it encuentres instead of encuentras?
Because sentences starting with Que to express a wish require the subjunctive mood. Encuentres is the present subjunctive form for tú (you). Notice that encontrar (to find) keeps its o-to-ue stem change in the subjunctive just like it does in the normal present tense.
Why do we need the a before tu amiga?
This is the personal a. In Spanish, when the direct object of an action is a specific person, you must put an a in front of them. Since you are finding a specific person (your friend), we must say encuentres a tu amiga.
Could I put pronto at the end of the sentence instead?
