Using the Subjunctive

Hi Everyone,

Today, we touched on using the Subjunctive mood, which is a special form in English -- but not a verb tense!

The Subjunctive is used to emphasize urgency or importance. It is used after certain expressions, including verbs like recommend, require, propose, suggest, request, and insist.

The form is      S +  Subjunctive Verb + that + S2 + V2...
For example:   I insist that you come to my party.
                      Sam suggested that Jane wear a black dress to the party.
                      Margaret proposed that she send out the invitations for the party.

Here's a useful link with some exercises that you can do online.




Also, please watch this video on interviewing skills and take notes on the key points.
