💡

Always look for the 'che' after a verb of emotion or doubt.

💡

The 'Che' Rule

Always remember that 'che' is the bridge. If you see 'che' after 'pensare', the next verb must be in the subjunctive.

💡

Check the subject

Always check if the subject changes. If it doesn't, don't use the subjunctive.

اشتباهات رایج

After 'penso che', the indicative 'mangia' is incorrect. You must use the subjunctive form 'mangi'.

Wrong: Penso che lui mangia bene.
صحیح: Penso che lui mangi bene.

The verb 'venire' is irregular, but even for regular verbs, the indicative is not allowed here. Always use the subjunctive after 'spero che'.

Wrong: Spero che tu vieni.
صحیح: Spero che tu venga.

Using 'è' (indicative) implies a statement of fact, but 'credo' introduces a subjective belief. Use 'sia' to maintain the mood.

Wrong: Credo che è vero.
صحیح: Credo che sia vero.
