The French Subjunctive is often considered the most difficult element of French grammar, but it is often just over-complicated! So here is my best attempt at explaining and simplifying it for you...

So the french has subjunctive mood too, i thought that it was a spanish thing, so that means the gringos are the weirdos.

Je suis français et "je pense qu'il vient" is absolutely correct. For exemple : - "Quand penses-tu qu'il va venir ?" (When do you think he will come ?" - "Je pense qu'il vient à 5 heure" ( I think he will come at five o'clock) versus : "penses-tu qu'il va venir ?" (Do you think he will come ?) -"Je ne pense pas qu'il vienne". ( I don't think he will come)

@@mecha-sheep7674 No one said "Je pense qu'il vient" was incorrect :D. I was simply pointing out that when you turn this sentence into the negative form, it calls for the subjunctive :).

Native French speaker here. I don't use subjunctive after 'Il est évident que' (4:08) and subjunctive would definitely sound weird contrary to other cases where it is optional. I suppose you could argue 'evident' is an opinion but it is more about an objective reality than 'nécessaire' or 'normal'. Speaking of 'que', I learned the subjunctive forms at school preceded by 'que' precisely to distinguish them from indicative so that I was shocked at 3:01 until realizing it is subjunctive (duh the subject of the video, but it quickly followed a part about indicative 2:38-2:46 so that I was confused). Subjunctive is losing ground anyway, especially in everyday speech, but indeed it is still unavoidable in some cases and marks the well-taught speaker. Excellent accent by the way ;)

Depuis ce temps, j'ai absolument oublié que ce temps verbe existe. Ca veut dire que j'ai parlé avec les francophones sans utiliser le subjonctif pendant 20 ans !!

Moreover, you learn me that this case it's called "the subjonctive" and as i'm french since my birth, it's natural for me so I didn't knew it perfectly xD Me gusta idiomas también, sé como hablar en español pero puedo sempre tener errores cuando escribo/hablo en español jaja Eu comecei a aprender Português porquê mi namorada fala português mas cuando falo en português eu hablo español (C'est chiant ça xD) И для мне язык, который мне нравится больше всего, русский. но это немного трудно 😂 Mais je suis fière de ma langue aussi :P Ta chaîne mérite plus d'abonnés !

Hello Ed! haven't heard from you for quite a while i have heard from a lot from polyglots & linguists that. In order to learn a language inmersion is the main key to gain fluency, but i also have heard that french people make mistakes when speaking their native language & if they do what in the world do i expect!!! Je ne sait pas que-c'est mon niveau de francais donc je ne sais pas mon niveu de francais je pense que je me suis un peu ameliore car la grammaire est tres compliquee je decide continuer mes etudes i read magazines & newspapers to learn vocabulary i'll be happy to reach b1 or b2 level ! Grammar & conjugation will come later on ...
