These statements get the indicative (present, preterite, future) • Ex: Yo creo que Duke ganará el torneo de NCAA • Use the subjunctive: To negate a statement of affirmation (saying what you don’t believe) adds doubt and therefore gets the subjunctive: • Ex: No creo que Duke pueda ganar el torneo de NCAA
