The subjunctive after conjunctions

Conjunctive phrases that always trigger the subjunctive: bien que and quoique (although), pour que and afin que (so that), avant que (before), jusqu'a ce que (until), a condition que and pourvu que (provided that), a moins que (unless), sans que (without), plus the same-subject shortcut pour que -> pour + infinitive.
