The Subjunctive

That I be
That I were
That I have been1
Oooh oooh oooh
Nowadays those who court encounter more and more difficulties
With verbs in the subjunctive
So it's time to reopen the grammar manual, which is
Which is very educational
Gerund, imperative
Infinitive, indicative
Many tenses and many conjugations, but
 
The subjunctive
Has a distinctive role
And it's used for events that aren't real
It's related
To what's subjective
Unlike other verb tenses
And now that you know it too
You won't get it wrong anymore
 
In case the sentence is of the unreality typology (it's known)
The subjunctive's needed
Like if you had used the subjunctive past perfect
It wouldn't have ended so badly with her
Conditional2
Follow the sequence of tenses
 
The subjunctive
Has a distinctive role
And it's used for events that aren't real
It's related
To what's subjective
Unlike other verb tenses
 
And now let's review a few verbs in the subjunctive
That I be (present simple)
That I were (past simple)
That I have been (present perfect)
That I had been (past perfect)
That I have (present simple)
That I had (past simple)
That I have had (present perfect)
That I had had (past perfect)
 
That I would be3
 
The subjunctive
As I told you
Is used in this kind of syntactic construction
Doubtful and almost reflexive
Described by the following didactic example
And now that you know it too
You won't get it wrong anymore
 
  • 1. The "that" isn't really necessary but it's used in Italian when conjugating the subjunctive to remind us of the type of sentences in which it is actually used
  • 2. The ‘conditional’ is the Italian counterpart of the English ‘would’.
  • 3. Grammatically wrong in Italian in some contexts where the subjunctive would be needed, like for example saying "I didn't know I would be here" instead of "I didn't know I was here". It's a mistake Italians sometimes make.
