entrer at B2 — the subjunctive

Causing someone to come in.
Faire entrer
Faire entrer means to show someone in, to let them in: « faites-le entrer » — show him in. The causative faire + infinitive is a core French structure, and this verb is a natural place to meet it.
The subjunctive appears after conditions and wishes: « il faut que tu entres par derrière ». Since entrer is regular, the subjunctive matches the present in the singular.
