Questions & Answers about Es posible que cambie el punto de encuentro.

Why is cambie in the subjunctive?

Because es possible que is an expression of possibility/uncertainty, and in Spanish that normally triggers the subjunctive in the following clause.

So:

• Es posible que cambie... = It’s possible that it may change / might change

You would not normally say Es posible que cambia... in standard Spanish, because the indicative sounds too certain after es posible que.
