Grammar question: why present subj?
Yes, my grammar still sucks.
Today I had a lesson from a native speaker (Venezuela). I didn't have time to ask her,
Why is this sentence using the present subjunctive?
El gobierno no puede prohibir que las personas que tengan carros.
Translation: The government can't prohibit people from having cars.
To me this is an indicative sentence. It's a statement of fact.
Why did she correct me to use the present subjunctive "tengan" of tener?
Gracias.
