The Subjunctive unreality” and potentialityThe basic idea that the Subjunctive is used to communicate is “unreality” and potentiality. i.e., the woulda, coulda, shoulda of Latin. The Subjunctive consists of 4 tenses: Present Imperfect Perfect Pluperfect potential/unreal actions are by nature in the future The Subjunctive has no future tenses because potential/unreal actions are by nature in the future. Therefore, no future is necessary.

The Subjunctive There are two basic types of Subjunctive: Independent and Dependent The Independent Subjunctive is really where the potential nature of the Subjunctive is apparent. The Dependent Subjunctive is used mainly to denote potentiality in a subordinate clause, and is rarely translated differently than a normal, indicative main verb.

Forming the Subjunctive The Subjunctive can be identified by a change in the stem of verbs. (cf. to infixes and endings) The Subjunctive Tenses, however, still employ the same Present and Perfect Stems we have already learned. change in the stem vowelIn the present tense, the subjunctive is indicated by a change in the stem vowel of the verb.

Present Subjunctive The changes in the present subjunctive are the following: 1st conjugation: ā --> e 2nd conjugation: ē --> ea 3rd conjugation: i --> a 4th conjugation (including 3 -io): ī --> ia
