Practice: The Subjunctive in Noun Clauses

For each sentence, if it were to be translated in to good Spanish, determine:

1. *If it (the Spanish equivalent) contains a noun clause .
2. *If a change of subject is involved.
3. If a verb of influence, emotion, doubt, or negation is involved.
4. If the subjunctive or indicative is needed.

*If the answer is “no” in any of these cases, you don't need to continue for that sentence.

Careful! Some adjectival and adverbial clauses may be included.
