Subjunctive with 2 different subjects
Is it possible to use subjunctive to say things such as;
J'ai peur que je sois stupide
Ou
Elle souhaite qu'elle ait eu rainson
Or is it ONLY if there are two, distinctly different subjects?
This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate regular verbs in the subjunctive present in French (Le Subjonctif Présent)"

Bonjour Connor,
You can only use the subjunctive with two different subjects. Otherwise, you just use the infinitive: J'ai peur d'être stupide.
