ATTENTION
When using verbs of opinions such as penser (to think) and croire (to believe) to say 'I think that / I believe that' in French, you always need to put que ('that') after them, whereas in English you can sometimes omit it.
For example: In French, you can NEVER say ''Vous pensez elle chante bien.'' or ''Elle croit les anges existent.''
