adverbial clauses and the subjunctive

Question

I know certain adverbial clauses are always used with the subjunctive while others depend on the context of the sentence. I was wondering what phrases (any you can think of) that are left out of the following lists (i left out the accents):

ALWAYS with subjunctive

a condicion de que
a fin de que
a menos que
a no ser que
antes de que
con tal (de) que
en caso de que
sin que

SOMETIMES with subjunctive

de manera que
de modo que
mientras que
en cuanto
tan pronto como
asi que
despues (de) que
luego que
hasta que
cuando
una, cada vez

also is "para que" a somtimes or an always?

thanks

Answer 1

"Para que" always take subjunctive, and the list of missing constructions you are asking for is probably too long to include it here. I suggest you try a more rational approach and attempt to use one mood or the other based on logic, rather than memorizing the mood of every single structure.

For example, result clauses express things that we aim for, and therefore, they cannot be declared, so they always take subjunctive. Absolute time clauses take indicative in the past, which is when you can make declarations about, and subjunctive in the future.
