Quiero que/Creo que/? Others

Question

Can someone explain to me the difference what: "Quiero que" and "Creo que" means? And give some examples, the more the better.

Like would this be correct:

I want to leave - Quiero que dejar I want to go out - Quiero que salir

I'm trying to practice my spanish practice by forming sentences.

Answer 1

to leave: marcharse----> I want TO LEAVE: Yo quiero marcharme To go out: Salir----------> I want TO GO OUT: Yo quiero salir

Ya quiero marcharme para mi casa. Esta semana no tengo planes para salir

Quick Question: Does ¡Marchando! mean "Let's go!" - bluebit25, May 27, 2014

¡Vamos! /vámanos = let's go! :) - FELIZ77, May 28, 2014

If maracharse can be used in this way you would need the imperative or command form: marchémonos - FELIZ77, May 28, 2014

However, unless Juan confirms this use I would stick with the above tow examples I have given you :) - FELIZ77, May 28, 2014

Juan, sorry, I meant 'marcharse' :) - FELIZ77, May 28, 2014

I use those examples I give you in my everyday speech. There are other verbs you can use instead of marcharse. If I am wrong on my grammar then let me know. I don't know all Spanish there is. Thank you all. - juanmelgar, May 28, 2014

marcharse is to leave, also means to march as in when the band is marching( la banda esta marchando) - juanmelgar, May 28, 2014

Answer 2

• Keep in mind that some of these translations are direct, some are not.
• Quiero que - I would like that/I want that "Quiero que vayas antes de las 6PM" I want you to go before 6PM/I would like you to to go before 6PM
• Creo que - I believe that/I think that. "Creo que él ya ha llegado" *I believe/think that he already arrived.
• As for other details of the need for subjective, and other grammar notes... I'll just leave those alone for now and let you try to understand the over all gist of it.
• P.S. Dejar doesn't mean leave in that sense, it's more to leave as in, "leave an item behind", or, "leave me alone". Also salir would be better translated as to exit.

Instead of quiero que, you could use: Quisiera que or Me gustaria que.... - juanmelgar, May 28, 2014

or "me encantaría si podrías" - Kiwaiano, May 28, 2014

Answer 3

Hello Blue,

Quiero comes from the verb querer = to wish/want and to love.

Creo comes from the verb creer = to believe and is sometimes loosely translated as to think

The verb construction: creo que is followed by the indicative forms of verbs because they are simply stating truths and not dealing with uncertainty or doubts in the mind of the speaker.

When you use the verb querer to talk about what only one subject wants to do, eg Quiero visitar a mis amigos= I want to visit my friends you would use teh indicative mode

However, if you have two subjects, one in the first part (clause) and another in the second part separated by the relative pronoun, and the person in the first part wants the second person to do something for them then you would need to use the subjunctive:

ex: Quiero que me compres un anillo diamante = I want you to buy me a diamond ring.

Please don't rush out to buy me one this is only an example! lol hahaha

Ex 2. Queremos que nos llaméis por teléfono en cuanto lleguéis con tranquilidad a casa.

= We want you to call us, by telephone, as soon as you arrive safely home.

Nearly all examples are mine.

Your examples: I want to leave = Quiero irme / o Quiero marcharme.
I want to go out = Quiero salir de la casa

The pronoun que is not needed here because you are the only subject

You could use the pronoun que in this kind of sentence/example given below :

Tengo mucho trabajo que hacer = I have a lot of work to do!

¡Hay siempre tantas nuevas cosas que aprender!

There are always so many new things to learn!

I hope this helps

Corrijan mi español, por favor

I wouldn't really say creer is "sometimes loosely translated as to think". Yes it's more complicated than just a second definition; but the way we use "think" often *must* be translated to creer. - Kiwaiano, May 28, 2014

Answer 4

Quiero = I want creo = I believe

I want to leave = quiero ir, o quiero irme I want to go out = quiero salir. is good.

Quiero irme is correct, Deedeegirl but quiero ir just means I want to go (not leave!) :) - FELIZ77, May 28, 2014

You would also have to say where you want to go. eg: Quiero ir al cine = I want to go to the cinema - FELIZ77, May 28, 2014
