"Espero que" and the subjunctive

votes

Is it correct to say: " espero que voy a hablar Espanol dentro de/en dos meses"? I'm not sure, because of the subjunctive rule. To be more spesific, voy a= Ir a in infinitive. Do you have to use the subjunctive form of ir a in this case?

Great question! Welcome to the SD forum.

Yes, you need the subjunctive here:

"Espero que vaya a hablar español dentro de dos meses."

It sounds a bit smoother to say:

"Espero que hable español....."
