- Ella cree que habrá consecuencias.

- Creía que era una bicicleta por participante. 

Because the subject in the two examples above believed/thought that …(creer que) …, I would have used the subjunctive in the second clauses. I equated this to querer que and esperar que both being followed by the subjunctive. What am I missing?

For example

Ellos no saben cuándo van a llegar

Ellos no saben que lleguen?

Yo no sé cuándo van a llegar

Yo no sé que lleguen/llegarán?

They all have an element of doubt in which would suggest the subjunctive but there is a rule here that I am not understanding fully!

Thanks

porque dice eso no es correcto en el primer paso

Hola Inma,

I can' t understand the use of  él here: ¿Que nunca has oído hablar de él?

Sounds like referring to a male person. Why don't you use ello here, since it's about a mountain?

I've seen this stuctrure elsewhere, but still don't understand it. Can you, please, explain?

Un salulo

Ελισάβετ

Se me ha olvidado la llave.  Does the lesson apply to this usage also?

 Is this how you say "went shopping", or "looked round the shops"??
