I have knowledge of University level English - so even if I managed to pick up a 'heavy' read I should be okay with it.
BUT, I do believe that I will start with something simple and easy!! (Maybe a kids novel?!) Okay - I have redone again: Newest in purple. Carlos nunca dijo a su familia que la sucursal de Miami tenía problemas. ¡Eso no es (this is not subjunctive) bueno! ¡Es lamentable que no le dijo a su familia! ¡Es lamentable que no le dijo a su familia! ¡Es lamentable que no le haya dijo a su familia! (I think that all I had to do was add the haya in?) Ahora la familia cree que Carlos les ha engañado a todos. ¡Esperemos que Carlos puede(this is not subjunctive) explicar lo que pasó! ¡No es cierto que engañó a su familia! ¡No es cierto que engañó a su familia! ¡Es no es cierto que haya engañó a su familia! (I think that all I had to do was add the haya in?) Probablemente Arturo vendrá a México a reunirse con Raquel. ¡Qué bueno que debería (this is not subjunctive) ser! ¡Es fácil que ella sea contento! ¡Es fácil que ella sea contento! ¡Espero que ella sea feliz! (I changed it to I hope she will be happy - does this work better?)

Maybe easy, but not that easy, although I always recommend you pick up something that will be at your level, not so much as to be a challenge, but enough to leave you wanting more. |

-> Es lamentable que no le haya dicho a su familia. -> No es cierto que haya engañado a su familia. "Haber" is an auxiliary verb used for conjugating composite tenses. It needs a past participle. If you still haven't learnt those tenses, you can follow one of Chileno's previous suggestions and make the sentences with subjunctive preterite: -> Es lamentable que no le dijera a su familia. -> No es cierto que engañara a su familia. You could also have kept contento(a): "¡Espero que ella esté contenta!"

"Es" was not a subjunctive, that's true, but it wasn't the right verb either: Ser -> es (simple present) -> sea (subjunctive) Estar -> está (simple present) -> esté (subjunctive)
