SUBJUNCTIVE

improper situations. This includes wish (hope), doubt (doubt), regret (regret), request (request), and
also advice (advice). In this way we can say that generally the meaning contained in a subjunctive
sentence will be contrary to the facts.

nouns or adjectives that imdicate importance. This subjunctive is used in clauses.

This subjunctive form will be in the dependent clause and not in the main clause. The
subjunctive is contrary to the tenses rule.
