  1. Intro to Subjunctive Mood Stage 23/24

  2. What is SUBJUNCTIVE? The Subjunctive is one of the three different moods a Latin verb can take. The two other moods are the Indicative and the Imperative. The subjunctive is perhaps the most common and also most difficult to grasp, and there is a great number of different subjunctive uses

  3. Why are there different Moods? • Each Mood has its own distinct purpose: • Imperative Mood is used for direct commands • Indicative Mood is used for things that actually happened • The Subjunctive Mood is used for things that might happen or haven’t happened yet.

  4. The CUM clause When a sentence begins with CUM and has a subjunctive verb in it we call this a CUM clause. CUM in this case is translated as “when” (although it can have other uses you will learn later) This formal name for this is a CUM TEMPORAL clause

  5. VERB POWER! • Different Moods have different strengths: • Imperative is the strongest mood, it is always the main verb. • Indicative is the next strongest, it is the main verb as long as there is not an imperative in the sentence. • Subjunctive is the weakest mood: it is rarely the main verb

  6. How do I identify subjunctive mood? The imperfect subjunctive is formed by adding the personal endings (-m, -s, -t, -mus, -tis, -nt) to the present infinitive (often the second principal part). The pluperfect subjunctive is formed by adding the personal endings to the perfect infinitive (3rd pp + isse)

  7. Imperfect Subjunctive Example For voco, vocare, vocavi, vocatumthe imperfect subjunctives are formed thus: Vocare-m vocare-mus Vocare-s vocare-tis Vocare-t vocare-nt And are translated “When _____ was/were calling”

  8. Pluperfect Subj. Example For voco, vocare, vocavi, vocatumthe pluperfect subjunctives are formed thus: Vocav-isse-m Vocav-isse-mus Vocav-isse-s Vocav-isse-tis Vocav-isse-t Vocav-isse-nt And are translated “when _____ had called”

  9. Conjugate the following Imperfect Subjunctive MOVEO, MOVERE, MOVI, MOTUS Pluperfect Subjunctive AMO, AMARE, AMAVI, AMATUS
