Does s’imaginer require the subjunctive?
The subjunctive after s’imaginer is optional: it depends how you use the verb.
Generally speaking, you need the indicative after s’imaginer:
Par exemple…
Je m’imagine qu’elle connaît le voleur.
I imagine that she knows the thief.
But when you are hypothesizing, using the imperative, or negating s’imaginer, the subjunctive tends to be used:
Par exemple…
Imaginons-nous qu’elle connaisse le voleur.
Let us imagine / suppose that she knows the thief.Je ne m’imagine pas qu’elle connaisse le voleur.
I don’t imagine / think that she knows the thief.
