    The subjunctive* FORMI. The present subjunctive has exactly the same form as the infinitive; therefore the present subjunctive of to beis be for all persons, and the present subjunctive of all other verbs is the same as their present tense except thats is not added for the third person singular.The queen lives here, (simple present tense)

    Long live the queen! (subjunctive)

  • 7/27/2019 English Grammar for Grade 12-1

    36/100

    II. The past subjunctive has exactly the same form as the simple past except that with the verb be the pastsubjunctive form is either I/he/she/it was or I /he/she/it were. In expressions of doubt or unreality wereismore usual than was:He behaves as though he were the owner. (But he is not the owner.)Past subjunctives are often known as 'unreal pasts'.

    * Use of the present subjunctiveA. The present subjunctive is used in certain exclamations to express a wish or hope, very often involvingsupernatural powers:(God) bless you! God save the queen!Heaven help us! Curse this fog!Come what may, we'll stand by you! Notice also the phrase if need be, which means 'if it is necessary':If need be we can always bring another car.C.Some certain verbs are followed by should + infinitive constructions. When the infinitive is be, the should issometimes omittedthat. . . shouldis more formal than a gerund or infinitive construction and usually implies less direct contact

    between the advisers/organizers etc. and the people who are to carry out the action. Verbs which can be usedwith that . . , should include the following: advise, agree, arrange, ask, beg, command, decide, demand,determine, insist, order, propose, recommend, request, stipulate, suggest, urge,prefer,decree. Note also: be anxious,be determined.She advised that we should keep the gate locked.She advised that the gate should be kept locked./ She advised keeping the gate locked/advised us to keep it locked.recommend could be used above instead of advise and would sound more formal.They agreed/decided that the roof should be repaired. They agreed/decided to repair the roof.He arranged that I should go abroad./ He arranged for me to go abroad.They arranged that the minister should be met at the airport./ They arranged for the minister to be met at the

    airport.He suggested that a petition (should) be drawn up.The infinitive thus left alone becomes a subjunctive.- It is/was + adjective + that. . . shouldA that. . . should can be used after it is/was advisable, better, desirable, essential, imperative, important,natural, necessary; afterfair (= just),just, right (these are often preceded by only) and after reasonable, as analternative to a for + infinitive construction:/(is advisable that everyone should have a map. It is better for him to hear it from you ./ It is better that he should hear it from you.It is essential for him to be prepared for this./ It is essential that he should be prepared for this.

    It is only right that she should have a share.should is sometimes omitted before be: It is essential that he be prepared.- that. . . should can be used after it is/was absurd, amazing,annoying, ludicrous, odd, ridiculous, strange,surprising and similar adjectives as an alternative to that + present/past tense:It is ridiculous that we should be (= that we are) short of water in a country where it is always raining. Theperfect infinitive is sometimes used when referring to past events:It is amazing that she should have said (= that'she said) nothing about the murder.* As if/as though + past subjunctiveThe past subjunctive can be used after as if/as though to indicate unreality or improbability or doubt in thepresent (there is no difference between as if and as though):

    He speaks/ spoke as if/though he were my father.

    He behaves as if he owned the place. (But he doesn't own it or probably doesn't own it or we don't know whetherhe owns it or not.)He talks as though he knew where she was. (But he doesn't know or he probably doesn't know or we don't knowwhether he knows or not.)He orders me about as if I were his wife, (but I am not) The verb preceding as if/though can be put into a past

    tense without changing the tense of the subjunctive:- After As if/ though we can use a past continuous when referring an imaginary action at the time of speaking.I feel as if I were sitting on a fire.I didn't see anybody but I felt as if I were being watched.He talks/talked as though he knew where she was.After as if/as though we use a past perfect when referring to a real or imaginary action in the past:

    He talks about Rome as though he had been there himself. (But he hasn't or probably hasn't or we don't knowwhether he has or not.) Again, the verb preceding as if'though can be put into a past tense without changingthe tense of the subjunctive:He looks/looked as though he hadn 't had a decent meal for a month.
