In the final part of this El Aula Azul series, we look at several examples of sentences beginning with the Spanish word, "aunque" [although], followed by verbs conjugated in either the indicative or subjunctive mood. Although the English translations for such examples might be the same regardless of whether the verb is in subjunctive or indicative, this subtle difference in Spanish conveys whether the information being shared is new or already known to the audience.
