describas

Describas is the second-person singular present subjunctive form of the Spanish verb describir. It is used in subordinate clauses to express wishes, doubts, possibilities, necessities, or contingencies, typically when the main clause requires the subjunctive mood. The form is commonly encountered when the subject of the subordinate clause is tú (informal you), as in requests, recommendations, or hypothetical statements.

Morphology and related forms: The present subjunctive of describir is conjugated as follows: yo describa, tú describas, él/ella describa, nosotros describamos, vosotros describáis, ellos describan. The accent in describáis marks the stressed syllable, distinguishing it from other forms. Describas thus corresponds specifically to the tú form in the present subjunctive, not to the forms used with usted, ellos, or vosotros in other contexts.

Usage: Describas appears in sentences such as: Es importante que tú describas el proyecto con detalle. Quiero que describas lo ocurrido. Puede que describas la situación de forma más clara. It is frequently preceded by verbs or expressions that require the subjunctive, such as querer, necesitar, dudar, esperar, es posible, ojalá, para que, and a menos que, among others.

Notes: As a present subjunctive form, describas is distinct from the present indicative describes (tú describes), which states a fact, and from other moods such as the conditional or future. The form also appears in indirect speech and after conjunctions that introduce clauses expressing non-certainty, desire, or hypothetical scenarios.
