Il est évident que

Il est évident que - French subjunctive?

Does il est évident que take the French subjunctive?

Yes and no!

Il est évident que is followed by the French subjunctive only in negative sentences and in questions with inversion.
In affirmative sentences, the verb is conjugated in the indicative.

Example

Il est évident que – C’est évident que – It’s obvious that – It’s evident that

Affirmative: Il est évident que ce tableau vaut autant d’argent.
It is obvious that this painting is worth so much money.

Negation: Il n’est pas évident que ce tableau vaille autant d’argent.
It is not obvious that this painting is worth so much money.

Question with inversion: Est-il évident que ce tableau vaille autant d’argent ?
Is it obvious that this painting is worth so much money?
