Hello Judah,

Welcome to our Spanishdict community forum

We do not do your homwork for you on this forum but we expect everyone to make an attempt and to post their best attempt, then we will be happy to check it for you and offer corrections, guidance and advice!

I will give you 3 tips about using the subjunctive which is present in at least two of your sentences.

1.You need to use the subjunctive form of the verb following the construction: No creo que ...in whatever tense it is written. For example: No creía que ......

In sentences starting with: Creo que ....etc... you do not need the subjunctive, but the indicative instead

2.The form of subjunctive must match the rest of the sentence. If the rest of the sentence is written in the past, you must use the imperfect subjunctive. In Spanish the present and imperfect subjunctive are the most commonly used forms. The future subjunctive is rarely used and while there is at least one example of the perfect subjunctive in your homework: Hayamos ido, you will not need to use it!

3.Impersonal statements like: It is fantastic that, It is important that...., take the subjunctive. ex: Es fantástico que puedas venir a mi fiesta de cumpleaños el sábado que viene. = It's fantastic that you will be able to come to my birthday party next Saturday!

I hope this helps you!

We wish you good success and look forward to reading your answers!
