In other words: a wish, an order, a suggestion or the forbidding of an action
after impersonal expressions conveying an implied command, opinion or judgement
after a verb or expression of emotion
after a verb or expression of doubt
after a relative pronoun when uncertainty is impliedwhen the verb of the main clause is in the conditional
after a conjunction indicating: a purpose or intent (para que), a restriction (con tal que) or anticipation (antes de que)
