=== subjunctive === | |||
* also called "subjunctive mood" | |||
* expresses a hypothetical or possible scenario | |||
** called "mood" because it often expresses an emotion or desire for something to happen or exist | |||
* subjunctive phrases usually pair verbs of opposing tenses, as in "if I had, I would" | |||
** ex.: "If I had studied harder, I would have done better on the test." | |||
*** "had studied" = past perfect (an action that happened at one time) | |||
*** "would have studied" = conditional perfect tense (also "past tense modal") | |||
**** "would" = past tense of "will" thereby represents an imaginary action from the past | |||
