te parece = advice or doubts

Question

¿Te parece bien que yo mande los e-mails?

This triggers subjunctive. may i ask if this is because this sentence is asking for advice?

Because i remember that only negative construction of opinions will trigger subjunctive, for example i dont think that = no creo que..

or is this understanding of mine wrong too?

thanks

Answer

Hola AshlynI would take this verb as a verb expressing a feeling, the same way we'd take for example gustar. These verbs trigger the subjunctive, for example:Me gusta que me mandes e-mails.Me parece bien que me mandes e-mails.¿Te gusta que yo mande los e-mails?¿Estás de acuerdo con que yo mande los e-mails?¿Te parece bien que yo mande los e-mails? Or you could also take this "te parece bien..." as a synonym to "quieres que..." which needs the subjunctive:¿Quieres que yo mande los e-mails?¿Te parece bien que yo mande los e-mails?As per creo and no creo que and opinion phrases, yes, you're right, creo que + indicative, no creo que + subjunctive.
