Part 3 - FOUR OTHER ACTIONS OF VERBS IN THE SUBJUNCTIVE MOOD

In this third part of the series, we will discuss the four other actions of the English subjunctive, which like the first two that we took up last week make verbs deviate from their usual behaviors in the indicative or imperative mood. These four other actions are (3) to demand that a particular action be taken, (4) to describe the outcome of an unreal situation or idea contrary to fact, (5) to raise a question about a hypothetical outcome, and (6) to express a request, suggestion, or wish.
