When, as in the latter example a future time is indicated, the Future
Subjunctive may be used instead of the Pres. Indicative, as—
Lo haré si tuviere tiempo: I shall do it if (ever) I have time.
VII. After como the Subjunctive Mood is used idiomatically but not necessarily, as—
Como le vió le habló: As soon as he saw him he spoke to him.
Como le viese le habló: On seeing him he spoke to him.
VIII. After creer, pensar, opinar, and similar verbs, the following verb is generally in the Indicative; but after no creer, etc., the verb is in the Subjunctive mood. After creer, etc., used interrogatively, the verb may be Indicative or Subjunctive.
