Pensar + infinitive

Question

I do not think I want to go.

No pienso querer ir

I think I'll go tomorrow.

Pienso ir mañana.

Are both of these sentences wrong because "que" needs to go after pensar? Would the correct translations be:

No pienso que quiero ir (no subjunctive because of same subject?)

Pienso que voy mañana (no subjunctive because pensar doesn't trigger subjunctive)

Answer 1

You always need a clause.

1. No creo que quiera ir. NOT No creo querer ir.
2. Creo que iré mañana. NOT Creo ir mañana.

Although the utterances skipping que work, aren't idiomatic.
