Is "Quiero que" always followed by the subjunctive

Question

Hi everyone. Thanks for the great website. I saw in the thread of one of the answers someone saying that "quiero que" is always followed by the subjunctive. Is the subjunctive used when it refers back to the original subject such as "Espero que yo pueda apprender much español? And, is this possible also with Quiero que? Could someone give me an example?

Thanks for the responses ahead of time

Answer 1

Thank you so much for your answer, Vikingo. It is very clear.

Answer 2

If you're also the subject in the subordinate clause, you have to use the infinitive here: "Espero poder aprender mucho español". Note that the "que" disappeared. The same goes for "quiero", in this case. (Quiero aprender mucho español).
