Tutorial about Subjunctive


The following is a mini-tutorial on the use of the Subjunctive. After you have studied the tutorial, complete the associated exercises. If you already know how to use this verb form, you can skip the explanation and go directly to the exercises.
FORM
Use the simple form of the verb. The simple form is the infinitive without the "to." The simple form of the verb "to go" is "go." The Subjunctive is only noticeable in certain forms and tenses.

Examples:
  • I suggest that he study.
  • Is it essential that we be there?
  • Don recommended that you join the committee.

NOTICE

The Subjunctive is only noticeable in certain forms and tenses. In the examples below, the Subjunctive is not noticeable in the you-form of the verb, but it is noticeable in the he-form of the verb.
Examples:
  • You try to study often. you-form of "try"
  • It is important that you try to study often. Subjunctive form of "try" looks the same.
  • He tries to study often. he-form of "try"

The Psalms 23 : The LORD Is My Shepherd



    1      The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
        
he leadeth me beside the still waters. 
3 
He restoreth my soul:
        
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
