The suppositional mood and subjunctive I, their forms and use in subject clauses
The Suppositional Mood and Subjunctive I represent the action as problematic, but not contradicting to reality. These moods represent the action as desirable or undesirable, suggested, advised, etc. they are used to express necessity, suggestion, advice, supposition, etc.
The Suppositional Mood is formed with the help of the auxiliary verb should for all the persons Singular and Plural and the infinitive of the notional verb in the appropriate form without the particle to. The Suppositional Mood has 2 forms:
-
Non-perfect
Perfect
I
He (she, it)
We
You
They
should
write
be writing
be written
I
He (she, it)
We
You
They
should
have written
have been written
The Non-perfect form of the Suppositional Mood is used to express simultaneousness in the present or in the past, or to refer the action to the future.
E.g. It’s not surprising he should be tired.
The Perfect form of the Suppositional Mood is used to express prior actions or situations.
E.g. It’s a shame he should have behaved like that.
Since suggestion, advice and recommendation as a rule refer to the future, the perfect form of the Suppositional Mood is rather seldom used.
Subjunctive I has only one form which is used with reference to any time.
-
I
He (she, it)
We
You
They
be
do
be doing
E.g. It’s possible we go sightseeing first.
