Write an example sentence with a main clause and a dependent clause and we can tell you if you need the subjunctive. - --Mariana--, Mar 19, 2012

Answer 1

I agree with DeMadera: It's not a word that triggers the subjunctive.

You won't regret it! = ¡No te arrepentirás!

He regrets saying it = Se arrepiente de haberlo dicho.

I don't regret what I did = No me arrepiento de lo que hice.

Answer 2

I'm no native, but I think no. It's a reflexive verb that means 'to repent' ven a Escocia, no te arrepentirás - come to Scotland. you won't regret it.

te is what became of the ending... se and the verb arrepentir, was altered to the second person future tense. Making

Te = to you

arrepentirás = you will have regret

then you add 'no' which makes it negative.

But what if subject of main clause and dependent clause is same? - Pravin_101, Mar 19, 2012
