How must I use Italian subjunctive tenses and how do subordinate (=dependent) clauses work?
A dependent clause is a clause which adds more information to a sentence and in Italian usually is after the conjunction “che”.
The subjunctive mood is generally used in subordinate clauses, when we don’t speak about real facts, but we express personal opinions, personal wishes, personal willingness or orders etc…
Which tense must I use? It depends on the verb of the main (= independent) clause!
