Present and Perfect Subjunctive: active and passive voice
Result Clauses
Sequence of tenses

2. Present Subjunctive
The key to remembering how to form present subjunctive is this mnemonic device:
She wears a diamond tiara.
1st 2nd 3rd 3IO th
These are the vowel changes you
will need to remember

3. Present Subjunctive
Notice the difference between present indicative and present subjunctive in these 3rd singular active forms
Indicative Subjunctive
parat parEt she
habet habEAt wears
mittit mittAt a
iacit iacIAt diamond
audit audIAt tiara
The same vowel change applies to present passive forms as well. parEtur, habEAtur, mittAtur, iacIAtur, audIAtur

4. Perfect Active Subjunctive
As with perfect active indicative, take the 3rd principal part, drop the “i”, and add the appropriate endings.
parav-
habu-
mis-
iec-
audiv-
The new endings resemble the future perfect active indicative endings, so be careful!
-erim, -eris, -erit, -erimus, -eritis, -erint

5. Perfect Passive Subjunctive
As with perfect passive indicative, this verb is two words: the 4th principal part (perfect passive participle) and the present form of the verb “to be” (in this case, the present subjunctive form)
paratus/a sim, paratus/a sis, paratus/a/um sit
habitus/a sim, habitus/a sis, habitus/a/um sit
missus/a sim, missus/a sis, missus/a/um sit
iactus/a sim, iactus/a sis, iactus/a/um sit
auditus/a sim, auditus/a sis, auditus/a/um sit
NB: plural forms follow the same pattern. Remember to make the participle plural!!!

6. Result Clauses
Sextus responded to his teacher in such a way that he was sent home.
What was the result of Sextus’ response to his teacher? He was sent home!
Results of actions are expressed with a subordinate (dependent) subjuctive clause in Latin.

7. How will I know if I need a subjunctive result clause?
There are two clues:
In the main (independent) clause there will be a “so” word: adeo, ita, sic, talis, tam, tantus, tantum, tot (either an adjective or an adverb)
Ut, meaning that/so that, or ut…non, meaning so that…not, will introduce the clause

8. Examples Can you give a result of these situations?
He was so fat that….
I laughed so hard that….
The test was so difficult that…
There were so many things to do that…
The candidate spoke in such a way that…
In Latin, the results would be expressed with a subjunctive result clause

9. Results In Latin Ego tantum ridebat ut lacrimarem. I laughed so much
that I cried.

10. How do I know which tense I should use in a subjunctive clause?
Sequence of Tenses

11. Primary Sequence The main (independent clause) indicative verb is
Present
Future
Future perfect
The subordinate (dependent) subjunctive clause must be either
Present (if the action is on-going at SAME TIME or AFTER the main verb)
Perfect (if the action is complete or happened BEFORE the main verb)

12. Secondary Sequence The main (independent clause) indicative verb is
Imperfect
Perfect
Pluperfect
The subordinate (dependent) subjunctive clause must be either
Imperfect (if the action is on-going at SAME TIME or AFTER the main verb)
Pluperfect (if the action is complete or happened BEFORE the main verb)

13. Result Clause exceptions
In a primary sequence, results occur AFTER the main verb, so present subjunctive is used.
In a secondary sequence there can be two kinds of results:
An anticipated or logical result (use imperfect subjunctive)
An actual result (use perfect subjunctive even though this normally does not apply to a secondary sequence-this is the exception)

14. Result sequences Anticipated/logical result. Actual result
Ego tantum ridebat ut lacrimarem.
I laughed so much that I (might have) cried.
Actual result
Ego tantum ridebat ut lacrimaverim.
I laughed so much that I (have) cried.
