The subjunctive after doubt, emotion and opinion

Emotion (etre content que, avoir peur que, regretter que) and doubt (douter que, il est possible que) take the subjunctive, and the negative-and-question flip turns penser que / croire que / etre sur que from indicative (je pense qu'il vient) to subjunctive (je ne pense pas qu'il vienne).
