This is an empirical question. If you know the answer, please chime in! "What if God WAS one of us?" Really? Is there a reason why speakers of English cannot understand the concept of the Subjunctive Mood when they speak and write? Anglos are trapped in the Indicative Mood and cannot get out. I've lived in Canada & the U.S. for 41 years. Most of that time, I taught English and Spanish--from high school to graduate school. I retired 2 years ago. I think I've probably met less than half a dozen people (including college professors, lawyers, politicians and other highly qualified people) who know how to use the Subjunctive. This is a very curious linguistic phenomenon. It is curious because speakers of other languages do not have such problem. No matter how uneducated, people who speak German, Italian, French, Portuguese or Spanish NEVER make mistakes using the Subjunctive. Teaching the Spanish Subjunctive to Canadian and American students was a nightmare. First, I had to teach it to them it in English, as they were completely unfamiliar with the concept. They just could not believe such grammatical constructions existed! Of course, if English teachers and English professors did their job properly (and taught the basics of the English language), foreign language teachers and professors wouldn't have to work twice as hard. NOTE: This is an invitation to linguistically trained people (who fully understand the issue) to express their opinions. If that is not you, skip it!

Not linguistically trained, but since you decided to comment on my video, I feel entitled to chime in. In my opinion, it's a combination on things. For one, as you stated, I don't believe that English is taught in a "pedagogically correct" way (at least in the U.S.) I can't recall hearing the words "past participle", "subjunctive", or even hearing the idea of "moods" in English class. It was only in college when I was studying Italian that I first heard of these concepts (to my memory.) The second thing that I think is that in other languages there is a whole separate conjugation for the subjunctive, while in English it generally seems to translate as "would have", "could have", etc. Maybe it's difficult for people to grasp because of that. Sorry for my layman's opinion. Comunque, penso che Lei abbia scelto la video sbagliata per una discussione sulla lingua. See what I did there? 😎 Seriously though, I appreciate the comment, but unfortunately I doubt you will get much discussion as my videos don't tend to generate a lot of comments.
