Chapter 2. The main cases of the use of The Subjunctive Mood in English
The subjunctive mood is used in the English language to express wishes, describe hypothetical situations, and outline conditional events. It is grammatically anchored by a subjunctive verb phrase, which typically will feature the words "that" or "if." For instance, the subjunctive phrase "I wish that you wouldn't interrupt me" explains a desire and uses "that" as part of a verbal phrase.
Subjunctive verb phrases can be inserted into the present tense, past tense, past perfect tense, and future perfect tense. Note, however, that the subjunctive itself is tenseless; we use the phrase “subjunctive mood,” not “subjunctive tense.” The subjunctive mood is common in the English language but also appears in many of the world's languages, including Spanish, French, German, Polish, Arabic, and Hebrew.
The subjunctive mood is used in writing to express a desire or a hypothetical situation. It is also transformed imperative, indicative, and interrogative phrases by adopting the subjunctive form of the verb in an existing sentence.
In a subordinate clause: Many sentences begin with dependent clauses that make use of the subjunctive mood. For example, "If I were a rich man, I would quit my job tomorrow."
To transform a clause in the imperative mood: An imperative statement can change to subjunctive form with a subjunctive verb and the word "that." For instance, "do your homework" can become "I wish that you would do your homework."
To express a desire: Subjunctive phrases like "may you live a healthy life" express wishes. Even standard idioms of modern English like "God bless you" are technically in the subjunctive mood. up in phrases like "I demand that you refund my money."
Without infinitives or conjunctions like "if" or "that”: In grammatical terms, the subjunctive mood can function without the assistance of conjunctions. This is particularly true in older English expressions like, "Should you need assistance, ring the bell." In this case, the modal verb "should" makes the subjunctive mood possible.
