Savoir que - French subjunctive?

Does savoir que take the French subjunctive?

Yes and no!

Savoir 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

Savoir que – To know that

Affirmative: Elle sait qu’elle a de la chance.
She knows she’s lucky.

Negation: Elle ne sait pas qu’elle ait de la chance.
She doesn’t know she’s lucky.

Question with inversion: Sait-elle qu’elle ait de la chance?
Does she know she’s lucky?
