Why it's built this way
The notes match the numbers above.
- 1Es posible que + subjunctive: a possibility, not a fact. Subjunctive: value judgements and impersonal expressions →
- 2The pronoun goes before haya, never between haya and the participle.
- 3Perfect subjunctive: a possible past action seen from now. Present perfect subjunctive →
