Questions & Answers about Capaz que él tiene el mismo presentimiento.
Why does capaz que use the indicative tiene here instead of the subjunctive tenga?
Even though capaz que expresses possibility (like "maybe"), it is very commonly followed by the indicative in everyday Latin American Spanish, especially when the speaker feels the guess is quite likely or factual. You can also use the subjunctive (tenga), which would make the statement feel a bit more doubtful or hypothetical.
Is capaz que used in formal writing?
No, it is informal and highly conversational. It is the colloquial equivalent of saying tal vez, quizás, or es posible que. You will hear it constantly in everyday spoken Latin American Spanish, particularly in places like Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile.
Could I say Es capaz que... instead of just Capaz que...?
