Do I use the subjunctive after a phrase such as "en mi opinion"?

Question

Do I use the subjunctive or the indicative after "en mi opinion"?

Answer 1

I agree with gintar77.

"En mi opinión" sounds eerily similiar to "creo que". Therefore, you use the indicative!

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

En mi opinión, debes usar el indicativo.

Answer 3

It can depend on how you are offering your opinion.

I can use the indicative like this:

but if I use a valuation that takes away or adds to my opinion, I would use the subjunctive expressing my opinion.

Answer 4

I think 'in my opinion' is what you would call a circumstantial complement so no

Answer 5

Pssssssssssssttttttttttttt!

En mi opinión, que fuera equivocado usar el subjuntivo?

Think!

Is that what you want?

If yes, then you can use both, just how and in what circumstances.

Not sure I understand. How do you translate your sentence? - gintar77, Aug 15, 2011
