following examples: I wish I was rich. If I were rich, I would buy sports cars. If I were rich, I think that I would go to Dubai on vacation. My doctor insists that I be on time at hospital. My doctor suggested that I take medicine on time. My mom recommends that I go to church on Sundays. Apple suggested that I be hired for a high salary. It is important that we not put aside what we have learned. it is a good idea that I be friendly to customers. The British subjunctive It is important that we should not put aside what we have learnd.

Nice job! All great sentences.

[@hojaewon8722]

@@mapleleafesl6162 my mom will insist that I be on right time at school tomorrow. Can I say that or I can only say as the present tense?

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Yes, you could say that: My mom will insist that I be on time for school tomorrow. This would mean that when I ask her later on if I have to go to school on time she will indeed insist upon it.

What i understand is that we always use the basic form of the verb in case of the subjunctive form. But is it the same when we talk about zero conditional sentence?. I mean do we also use the basic form of the verb with zero conditiobal sentence.?

Hi It means , We leave no part of him behind , it is too dangerous Above written is a movie dialouge and which mood did they use in this(we leave no part of him behind)

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Hi sagar kumar, I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but your above sentence is not an example of the subjunctive mood.

[@mrholmes2855]

Hie sir ! I want to know could it( we leave no part of him behind) be imperative sentence

[@mapleleafesl6162]

If we said, 'leave no part of him behind' without the 'we' then yes, it would be an imperative.

Hello teacher! Excellent class! Tell me about the "that", is it optional?

In this structure, yes, it is generally optional. I'd say keep it in more formal correspondence. In casual speaking, you would probably naturally drop it.

[@joaoluizdiasesteves8500]

Thank you so much, Andrew. Your examples are very clear! But I have a question for you: as using the Subjunctive mood can I say? "The coach insists to practice twice a day.

[@mapleleafesl6162]

No, you can't in that case. You could either say: 1. The coach insists on (my) practicing twice a day OR 2. The coach insists (that) I practice twice a day.

[@МарияСергунН]

But we can use complex object after ask and demand Isnt it esier to say the teacher asked me to show up on time and its seems to me it's more natural

Helpful examples and good confidence. One suggestion is to take a listen to how many times the filler word ‘okay’ is used throughout the lesson; I did find it a bit distracting.

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Great tip! Noted.

[@Mirador1]

I need help please. Which of these sentences are correct? Is "I want him to be okay." the same that: 1. I want for him to be okay. 2. I want that he be okay. 3. I want that he is okay. 4. I want that he were okay. 5. I want that he was okay. 6. I want that he will be okay. 7. I want that he would be okay. And is "I wanted him to be okay." the same that: 8. I wanted for him to be okay. 9. I wanted that he be okay. 10. I wanted that he is okay. 11. I wanted that he were okay. 12. I wanted that he was okay. 13. I wanted that he will be okay. 14. I wanted that he would be okay. I know that some are more formal o "correct" than others, but I just want to know which ones are incorrect at all.

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Sorry, but that's just too big of a question to answer in the comments section.

If I say "I wish they would understand", is it in the subjunctive?

too many Grammar type in English.........let make things more easier sociaty

[@МарияСергунН]

When they teach subjunctive in italian they explain both the cases we should use it and those we shouldnt use it for example after to my mind subjuntive is not used in italian however there is a sort of doubt but after i think it is used they also explain the ways you can avoid subjuntive like in english you can easily say he asked me to come why to use subjuntive it's very confusing. I say i hadnt understand subjuntive before I saw your vidio and I dont understand it now. Your vidio didnt help.
