  1. ANTE TODO • Just as the subjunctive is required with expressions of emotion, influence, and will, it is also used with expressions of doubt, disbelief, and denial. Main clauseSubordinate clause Dudan que su hijo les diga la verdad.

  2. The subjunctive is always used in a subordinate clause when there is a change of subject and the expression in the main clause implies negation or uncertainty. No creo que haya lugares más bonitos en el mundo. Dudo que el río esté contaminado aquí en las montañas.

  3. Expressions of doubt, disbelief, or denial

  4. For example: El gobierno niega que el agua esté contaminada. The government denies that the water is contaminated. Es probable que haya menos bosques y selvas en el futuro. It’s probable that there will be fewer forests and jungles in the future. Dudo que el gobierno resuelva el problema. I doubt that the government will solve the problem. No es verdad que mi hermano estudie ecología. It’s not true that my brother studies ecology.

  5. The indicative is used in a subordinate clause when there is no doubt or uncertainty in the main clause. Expressions of certainty

  6. For example: No negamos que hay demasiados carros en las carreteras. We don’t deny that there are too many cars on the highways. No hay duda de que el Amazonas es uno de los ríos más largos. There is no doubt that the Amazon is one of the longest rivers. Es verdad que Colombia es un país bonito. It’s true that Colombia is a beautiful country. Es obvio que los tigres están en peligro de extinción. It’s obvious that tigers are in danger of extinction.

  7. In affirmative sentences, the verb creer expresses belief or certainty, so it is followed by the indicative. • Creo que debemos usar exclusivamente la energía solar. • I believe we should use solar energy exclusively. • In negative sentences, however, when doubt is implied, creer is followed by the subjunctive. • No creo que haya vida en el planeta Marte. • I don’t believe that there is life on the planet Mars.
