Subjunctive Tenses Unnecessary for Rationalists?
April April7y20

The subjunctive tense is (if I remember correctly) used in all subordinate clauses. For example, look at the phrase “Es 50% probable que el libro sea rojo,” translating to “(It) is 50% probably that the book is red.” “Sea” is the present subjunctive form of “ser,” which means “to be.”

I used google translate on this, but as it is a simple sentence it should be accurate. I only have a few years of Spanish education so I’m not fluent or anything, but I am fairly confident this example holds.
