Why not Subjuntive Here?

In the Word of the Day for 12 September: "2. Después del último pleito que tuve con mi novio, no creo que será posible reparar la relación."

Why, after this expression of doubt, the future tense será instead of present subjunctive sea?

I agree. I personally would use subjunctive. This way:

  • Después del último pleito que tuve con mi novio, no creo que sea posible reparar la relación.

I would say because it expresses uncertainty (yes, in the future). - 00483d91, Sep 12, 2013
Because expresses the future. Right? - chileno, Sep 12, 2013
