Spanish help subjunctive triggers

Hey I was wondering if the following phrases trigger the subjunctive:
'me gusta que'
and
'entiendo que'
Sorry you've not had any responses about this. :frown: Are you sure you've posted in the right place? :smile: Here's a link to our subject forum which should help get you more responses if you post there. :redface:

You can also find the Exam Thread list for A-levels here and GCSE here. :dumbells:


Just quoting in Puddles the Monkey so she can move the thread if needed :h:

Me gusta que does but entender que is a weird one that sometimes does and sometimes doesn't depending on context.... :smile:
'Me gusta' can be followed with an infinitive, if you are the agent of the action: eg. Me gusta ir de compras.

What phrase did you have in mind?

If in doubt, there's always linguistic devices to negotiate your way through, without using the subjunctive, if you are deft at paraphrasing. But I suppose you need to demonstrate working knowledge of the subjunctive to pick up marks.
