These examples all contain a verb in the subjunctive mood. The subjunctive is used to express situations that are hypothetical or not yet realized and is typically used for what is imagined, hoped for, demanded, or expected. In English, the subjunctive mood is fairly uncommon (especially in comparison with other languages, such as Spanish ), mainly because most of the functions of the subjunctive are covered by modal verbs such as might, could, and should. In fact, in English, the subjunctive is often indistinguishable from the ordinary indicative mood since its form in most contexts is identical. It is distinctive only in the third person singular, where the normal indicative -s ending is absent ( he face rather than he faces in the example above ), and in the verb ‘to be ’ ( I were rather than I was , and they be rather than they are in the examples above ). In modern English, the subjunctive mood still exists but is regarded in many contexts as optional. Use of the subjunctive tends to convey a more formal tone, but there are few people who would regard its absence as actually wrong. Today, it survives mostly in fixed expressions, as in be that as it may; far be it from me; as it were ; lest we forget ; God help you; perish the thought; and come what may.

subjunct |ˈsʌbjʌŋ (k )t | ▶noun Grammar an adverb or prepositional phrase used in a role that does not form part of the basic clause structure, for example kindly in he kindly offered to help . ORIGIN early 20th cent.: from Latin subjunctus, past participle of subjungere (see subjoin ).
subjunctive
subjunctive |səbˈdʒʌŋ (k )tɪv |Grammar ▶adjective relating to or denoting a mood of verbs expressing what is imagined or wished or possible. Compare with indicative. ▶noun a verb in the subjunctive mood. • (the subjunctive ) the subjunctive mood. DERIVATIVES subjunctively adverb ORIGIN mid 16th cent.: from French subjonctif, -ive or late Latin subjunctivus, from subjungere (see subjoin ), rendering Greek hupotaktikos ‘subjoined ’. usage: … if I were you; the report recommends that he face the tribunal; it is important that they be aware of the provisions of the act. These sentences all contain a verb in the subjunctive mood. The subjunctive is used to express situations which are hypothetical or not yet realized, and is typically used for what is imagined, hoped for, demanded, or expected. In English the subjunctive mood is fairly uncommon (especially in comparison with other languages such as French and Spanish ), mainly because most of the functions of the subjunctive are covered by modal verbs such as might, could, and should. In fact, in English the subjunctive is often indistinguishable from the ordinary indicative mood, since its form in most contexts is identical. It is distinctive only in the third person singular, where the normal indicative -s ending is absent ( he face rather than he faces in the example above ), and in the verb ‘to be ’ ( I were rather than I was and they be rather than they are in the examples above ). In modern English the subjunctive mood still exists but is regarded in many contexts as optional. Use of the subjunctive tends to convey a more formal tone but there are few people who would regard its absence as actually wrong. Today it survives mostly in fixed expressions, as in be that as it may; God help you; perish the thought; and come what may.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT WORD subject, topic, theme ■ Subject is the most general term for something that is or could be written, talked, or thought about (his mind was no longer on the subject of politics | please send questions on any subjects you would like discussed ). A subject also means a branch of knowledge studied at school, college, or university (sixth-form classes in less popular A-level subjects ). ■ When distinguished from subject, topic can refer to a smaller and more specific area for discussion (from this very complex subject, two topics concerning government grants have been selected for discussion in this section ). It is also the most common word for something discussed in speech (her sole topic of conversation nowadays was the baby ). ■ A theme is typically associated with a relatively long work or discussion and tends to be an underlying idea, recurring throughout it and unifying it (she deals delicately with the themes of love and jealousy ). A theme is generally developed or elaborated rather than discussed or debated. These notes show fine distinctions in meaning between closely related synonyms to help you find the best word.
