Subjunctive problem

Question

Hi,

when talking about hypothetical person should I use the subjunctive tense?

for example:

would it be

una persona que sufra de una enfermedad terminal

or

una persona que sufre de una enfermedad terminal

Thanks

Answer 1

Yes, you use the subjunctive because you are not declaring that the person exists and suffers from whatever.

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

I agree that the subjunctive is needed here.
