Subjunctive and Indicative with Adverbial Conjunctions

Question

Hello everyone. I thought this might be helpful to some of you. I was looking through my PowerPoints for my Spanish class. So here is a tip to remembering what adverbial conjunctions always use the subjunctive after. Please add your thoughts, comments, corrections, or additions.

ALWAYS use with the subjunctive

Acronym ESCAPA

En caso de que … in case

Sin que … without, unless

Con tal (de) que … provided that

Antes (de) que … before

Para que (a fin de que) … so that, in order that

A menos que … unless

ALWAYS use with the indicative

Ahora que … now that, since

Desde que … since

Porque … because

Answer 1

Sorry but "porque" it can be used with subjuntive or indicativo.

Voy a España porque quiero aprender español. Indicativo No voy a España porque quiera aprender español sino porque quiero visitar a mi familia. Subjuntivo
