Hola a todos!

I want to say: I doubt that his choice of setting was an accident or I doubt that he chose this setting by accident

I know that it's subjunctive, but I can't work out how to translate the past tense bit?

Dudo que su eleccion de escenario SEA un accidente? Dudo que eligiera este escenario por casualidad?

ayúdenme por favor!! smile

Your first English clause uses past subjunctive, so in Spanish you need to use fuera / fuese - not "sea". You second clause is OK.
