The Subjunctive in English grammar is a special verb form that is used to express various states such as doubt, possibility, necessity, or action that has not yet occurred. It can often be found in sentences that describe what you wish for, or in hypothetical situations. The Subjunctive mood is important to use in English because it can change the meaning of a sentence, and it can also demonstrate the speaker’s attitude.
