que/ el que
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using Spanish relatives el que, la que, los que, las que = the one/ones who/that (relative pronouns)"
Asked 4 years ago

Hola Cristina
Yes, we can use the subjunctive with these relative clauses. In the lesson we have some example sentences using the subjunctive:
Los que hayan reservado con antelación pueden ir a esa ventanilla.
The ones who booked in advance can go to that desk.
or
Coge un par de plátanos, los que estén más maduros.
Grab a couple of bananas, the ones that are more ripe.
Using the indicative or the subjunctive will depend on whether what we are referring to is something/someone known/specific (indicative) or something/someone unknown/unidentified (subjunctive).
We have a specific lesson about this. Have a look here.
In hope this helps.
Saludos
