Questions & Answers about Capaz que ignoren ese presentimiento.
Why is ignoren in the subjunctive here instead of the indicative?
The phrase capaz que expresses doubt or possibility, similar to tal vez. In Latin America, you can follow it with either the subjunctive or the indicative. Using the subjunctive (ignoren) emphasizes the uncertainty of the action. If the speaker felt more certain that it was going to happen, they could use the indicative (ignoran).
I learned that capaz means "capable." How does it mean "might" in this sentence?
Could ignoren also refer to ustedes (you all) instead of "they"?
Is presentimiento related to the verb sentir?
