If one of those verbs is used before QUE, the
subjunctive must be used after que because it
expresses wish.
Usually, there are 2 DIFFERENT subjects in the
sentence: 1 before que and a different subject
after que.
If there is no que, there can’t be a subject
change and the infinitive is used.
Quiero VISITAR Italia.
VS.
Quiero que VISITEMOS Italia.
