new Subjuntivo de "debería tener"

Hola Ziqing Z.

In Spanish, the conditional tense (like debería) does not have its own subjunctive form. When a verb is required in the subjunctive, Spanish uses the imperfect subjunctive instead (debiera / debiese), not a “conditional subjunctive”.

So your example is actually correct:

Here’s why:

• No pienso que… expresses a negative opinion, which triggers the subjunctive.

• Debiera / debiese is the subjunctive form of deber, used instead of debería in this context.

In short:

• Debería → conditional (used in statements, opinions stated directly)

• Debiera / debiese → subjunctive (used after expressions that require the subjunctive)

So yes, your sentence is well-formed and matches how Spanish handles this structure.

¡Muy buena observación!
