Notes for teachers
Use Part 1 as a warm-up on forms before moving to the use-based items in Parts 2 and 3. The distractors target typical B1 errors: using the indicative after 'quiero que', 'cuando' + future, 'creo que' + subjunctive, and the subjunctive after 'si'. As follow-up, ask students to write their own sentences with 'Ojalá', 'No creo que' and 'Cuando + subjunctive' about their plans.
