27. Brutti’s Grammar
The subjunctive mood of verbs
• SUBJUNCTIVES ARE TYPICALLY FOUND IN SUBORDINATE CLAUSES—
E.G. AFTER WORDS LIKE ‘IF’, ‘WHEN’, ‘UNLESS’, ‘ALTHOUGH’
• WHEN THEY APPEAR AFTER THE WORD ‘UT’, THEY INDICATE PURPOSE OR RESULT.
• WHEN THEY STAND ALONE (NOT IN A SUBORDINATE CLAUSE), THEY ARE USED TO EXPRESS
1) POTENTIAL
2) WISHES/COMMANDS
3) RHETORICAL QUESTIONS
• SUBJUNCTIVES LOOK SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FROM THEIR INDICATIVE COUNTERPARTS.
-PRESENT SUBJUNCTIVE=CHANGE VOWEL BEFORE ENDING.
E.G. ‘PORTAT’ BECOMES ‘PORTET’
-IMPERFECT SUBJUNCTIVE=ACTIVE INFINITIVE + M/S/T/MUS/TIS/NT
-PLUPEFECT SUBJUNCTIVE=3RD PRINCIPAL PART + ISSEM/ISSES/ISSET ETC.
