Bonjour F.,

Le Subjonctif Présent is used when the action from the subordinate clause (que ...) is simultaneous with or later than the main verb.

Je veux qu'il vienne. = I want him to come.

Je doute qu'elle soit là. = I doubt she's there.

Je sais qu'il vient ici. = I know he's coming here.

Il faut que nous partions maintenant. = We must leave now.

Elle a peur que ses enfants aient froid. = She's afraid her children are cold.

Take a look at the links below for more details:

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
