ة outcome is found in clauses following such verbs as request, ask, and insist, or following such adjectives as necessary and essential. In the examples below you will notice that the subjunctive mood uses the stem form of the verb.

Examples: She suggested that I be the cook.

We request that you be appropriately dressed.The boss insisted that Willard arrive at eight sharp.

It is necessary that she go at once.

It is imperative that they be on time.

The second major use of the subjunctive mood is to express something that is contrary to fact. For example, when I say something like "If I were you I would buy that," I am posing a situation that is contrary to fact because I am not you. This use ofthe subjunctive employs a form that appears to be past tense but in fact has nothing to do with past time.

Examples: I wish I were in Italy.

Betty looks as if she were exhausted.

If he were really my friend, he would get me a ticket.

Sometimes the subjunctive is replaced by other forms or structures.

Examples: It is necessary for her to go at once.

It is necessary that she should go at once.

If he was really my friend, he would get me a ticket. (informal usage)

I wish I was in Italy. (informal usage)
