The Subjunctivisor!
Does lorsque require the subjunctive?
No, lorsque does not take the subjunctive:
Par exemple…
Je serai content lorsque les enfants seront au lit.
I’ll be happy when the children are in bed.
Note that this conjunction is normally followed by the future, rather than the present tense used in English.
