after a verb or expression of emotion
after a verb or expression of doubt
after a relative pronoun when uncertainty is implied when the verb of the main clause is in the conditional
after a conjunction indicating: a purpose or intent (para que), a restriction (con tal que) or anticipation (antes de que)
