requieras

Requieras is the second-person singular form of the present subjunctive of the Spanish verb requerir, meaning to require or to need. This form is used in dependent clauses after expressions of necessity, doubt, desire, or possibility, especially when the main clause introduces a hypothetical or non-factual situation.

Requerir is a transitive verb that can take a direct object, such as something required or needed. In the present subjunctive, its conjugation follows the irregular pattern of a stem-changing verb, yielding forms such as yo requiera, tú requieras, él requiera, nosotros requeriramos, vosotros requiráis, ellos requieran. The form used for tú, requieras (or equivalently required as reques a common spelling variant in some texts), appears in sentences like: Es posible que tú requieras ayuda.

In practice, requieres the subjunctive when the speaker expresses doubt, desire, necessity, or condition in a subordinate clause introduced by que, or in clauses beginning with si in a hypothetical sense. It commonly appears after impersonal expressions like es posible que, es necesario que, or after verbs of desire or doubt such as quiero que, dudo que.

Dialectal and stylistic notes: Spanish grammars generally list the present subjunctive forms of requerir as requiera, requieras, requiera, requiramos, requiráis, requieran. The tú form requieras is the one most likely to appear in everyday speech; regional usage may influence preference for this form over close variants.
