The subjunctive mood form of a verb shows uncertainty, and is generally the opposite of the demonstrative mood. It is usually used after verbs that show a possible, but not certain outcome, such as "hope", "think", "wish", "want", and after words like "if".
For example, in French: "je veux que tu partes" = "I want you to leave" (literally) "I want that you leave" (subjunctives in bold); as opposed to "tu pars"/"you leave".
An antiquated example of this is the English "If I wereyou....", instead of the usual "I was". The idea, from the French example, is that I want you to leave, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you will, whereas the normal indicative form "tu pars" means you are leaving. It states a fact. The subjunctive is a possibility.
Futher examples: "Je crois qu'il vienne avec nous" ("I think that he is coming with us"), where "croir" (believe/think) causes the verb "venir"(come) to be in the subjunctive.
subjunctive
Subjunctive, basically because the first clause is a "want" and then after is que.
Yes, aprés que takes the subjunctive since it suggests subjectivity. Afin que, alors que and avant que are also used in the subjunctive.
Subjunctive Clauses are sentences that contain verbs in the subjunctive mood, which is used chiefly to express the speaker's attitude about the likelihood or factuality of a given situation. A subjunctive mood is a verb that indicates possibility, conditionality or probability.
"Be it" is an example of the rare and elusive English subjunctive, in sentences like "I am prepared to deal with any kind of weather, be it snow or hail or scorching heat." A subjunctive is a form of the verb which is used when the truth of the statement is uncertain. It is also used in sentences after the word "if" in sentences like "I await the jury's decision, and if it be death, I am ready."
The subjunctive mood is for expressing wishes, suggestions, or desires, and is usually indicated by a verb such as wish or suggest, paired then with a subjunctive verb
The subjunctive mood verb for "I'd do it if I were you" is "were." It is used because it expresses a hypothetical situation that is contrary to reality and is not currently true.
The past subjunctive plural form of the verb "be" is "were." It is used when expressing a hypothetical situation, wish, or doubt in the past for multiple subjects.
No, it is called Konjunktiv. (subjunctive)
"J'aie" is the first person singular subjunctive form of the verb "avoir" in French. It is used when expressing doubt, desire, or emotion.
The three moods of a verb are indicative (used to state a fact or opinion), imperative (used to give commands or requests), and subjunctive (used to express wishes, possibilities, or uncertain events).
IF
Yes, the conjunction autant que can mean "as much as" ("as far as") and may be followed by the subjunctive. The choice of the dependent verb as in the indicative or subjunctive depends upon the verb in question (savoir ["to know"] historically will be always in the subjunctive) and the type of certainty/uncertainty regarding the accuracy, predictability or reliability of the answer.
The verb should be in the subjunctive mood: "If I were you." However, use of the subjunctive is waning fast, and even careful speakers will occasionally get this wrong.
No, "were" is not a common noun. It is the past tense form of the verb "to be."
"Would be" is a conditional tense in the subjunctive mood of the verb "to be".
