常见错误
After 'penso che', the indicative 'mangia' is incorrect. You must use the subjunctive form 'mangi'.
The verb 'venire' is irregular, but even for regular verbs, the indicative is not allowed here. Always use the subjunctive after 'spero che'.
Using 'è' (indicative) implies a statement of fact, but 'credo' introduces a subjective belief. Use 'sia' to maintain the mood.
