Main clause and subordinate clause
 The subjunctive usually appears in the
dependent or subordinate clause, and is
introduced by the conjunction que after the
main clause.
 When there is no change of subject, an
infinitive follows the verb in the main
clause – no need for subjunctive.
 e.g quiero estudiar la historia.
But…. Mi padre quiere que yo estudie
