The subjunctive is used after expressions of emotion and reactions to something. Remember that the subjunctive is found in the subordinate clause of sentences that contain a change of subject from the main clause to the subordinate clause. A very common structure that triggers the subjunctive is es + adjective + que expressing opinions. Here is a list of common expressions of emotion with which the subjunctive is found in the subordinate clause:

Expresiones de emoción con el subjuntivo:

me gusta que  I like that es fundamental que  it is key that
me molesta que  it annoys me that sentir que  to be sorry that
me encanta que  I am delighted that es bueno que  it is good that
me sorprende que  I am surprised that es inútil que  it is useless that
es bonito que  it is nice that temer que  to fear that
es importante que  it is important that es urgente que  it is urgent that
es triste que  it is sad that tener miedo de que  to fear that
es justo que  it is fair that es absurdo que  it is absurd that

Es muy bonito que sepan los dos idiomas.It is very nice that they speak both languages.

The expressions es cierto que, it is true that, es obvio que, it is obvious that, es verdad que, it is true that, and es evidente que, it is evident that are exceptions since they are followed by the indicative and not by the subjunctive.

Es verdad que hay ciertos principios que uno puede aplicar. It is true that there are some principles that one can apply.

However, when these expressions are used in the negative, in the subordinate clause the subjunctive is used.

No es evidente que tengas razón. It is not evident that you are right.

Negative Opinions and Doubt

The subjunctive occurs in dependent clauses introduced by verbs and expressions of doubt or negative opinions whenever there are two different subjects in the two clauses linked by the subordinating conjunction que. Here is a list of common expressions of negative opinion and doubt with which the subjunctive is found in the subordinate clause:

no *creer que  to not believe that …
no *pensar que  to not think that …
dudar que  to doubt that …
no *opinar que  to not think that …
no *me/te/le/nos/les parece que  it doesn’t seem to me/you/him that…

La verdad no, no creo que eso sea correcto.Actually no, I do not think this is fair.

*Remember that such expressions of opinion, when used in affirmative statements, are followed by the indicative.

Creo que voy a quedarme con una familia para que pueda practicar español en la casa.I think I will stay with a family so that I can practice Spanish at home.
