I think that the most interesting field of general linguistics is the nature and essence of language. It seems to me quite interesting to know what language, what is its nature, what is its function. It is interesting to know how society influence on the language and how the language influence on the society. Any language that exists today is already quite developed, so it is very interesting to find out who, when and how create a language.

In our research the inductive method is used to do logical conclusion how subjective mood expressed now in English, how subjective mood expressed in the past, why and when subjective mood stopped using the past. The use of the deductive method allows us to gradually approach to logical conclusions. Slowly analyze and tell he reasons for rejection of using subjective mood. The method of linguistic description helps us to describe and analyze the components and parts of subjective mood.
