Answer 1

Impersonal statements which express a person's opinion or value judgement and/ or are not expressions of fact are subjunctive. La segunda frase es más correcta. However I would be tempted to say "yo pueda" to clarify the person I instead of he.

Bien gohern, y muchas gracias. Buen fin de semana. - britisk, Mar 17, 2013

Answer 2

Impersonal expressions work a lot like emotions in that they are someone´s opinion or value judgement. They focus on the subjectivity of the subject and not on the actual truth or reality of the situation.

Almost any phase with the es + adjective + que can be an impersonal expression.

Es importante que yo practique con frecuencia lo poco que pueda.

Thanks to both of you for good explanations.Was in doubt as to use of subjunctive here. - britisk, Mar 17, 2013
