induzca

Induzca is a form of the Spanish verb inducir, used as part of the present subjunctive. The form corresponds to the first person singular (yo induzca) and the third person singular (él/ella/usted induzca) in standard usage, and is the surface form shared by those subjects. Other present-subjunctive forms of inducir are induzcas (tú), induzcamos (nosotros), induzcáis (vosotros), and induzcan (ellos/ustedes).

Etymology and usage

Inducir comes from Latin inducere, meaning “to lead in” or “to bring about.” In Spanish, the present subjunctive mood is used in subordinate clauses that express wishes, doubts, emotions, recommendations, or hypothetical situations, often after verbs or expressions of volition, necessity, or possibility. Induzca appears in constructions such as “Es necesario que induzca cambios” or “Quiero que induzca un nuevo proceso,” where the clause introduces a subject different from the main clause or a hypothetical scenario.

Conjugation overview

Present subjunctive forms of inducir include:

Notes

Induzca is distinct from the present indicative forms (e.g., yo induzco) and from other tenses of the subjunctive. The spelling reflects the regular -ducir conjugation pattern in the subjunctive, with the medial 'c' followed by 'a' in the singular forms.
