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.
