Do you sometimes wonder why a third-person singular verb has lost its 's'?
Do you sometimes see a verb in the past form used for a present or future situation?
Then join me in this lesson to review all cases of the present and past subjunctive mood.
Hello and welcome everyone this is Minoo at Anglo-Link.
Today we are going to look at the subjunctive mood. This is the verb form
used to express that something is important to express a recommendation or
a wish. And also to express an unreal or improbable condition in.
American English, both the present and past subjunctive forms are common.
In British English, the present subjunctive is often replaced by an alternative. But the past subjunctive
is commonly used in conditional two sentences and after expressions such as
'I wish' and 'if only'.
By the end of this lesson you will have a clearer idea of
how the subjunctive mood is formulated, when you must use it, and what
alternative structures you can use instead of it.
So, when you're ready, we can begin!
