  3. Subjunctive Mood • The subjunctive mood gives more of the speaker’s or writer’s opinion or attitude toward the truth of a statement. • It can be used independently, as a main verb. • It’s often used in dependent clauses, too.

  4. Subjunctive Tenses • We’ve learned 6 tenses of Latin verbs. • The subjunctive only has 4 tenses! • It also has active/passive voice. • Tenses: • Present • Imperfect • Perfect • Pluperfect There is no such thing as the future or future perfect subjunctive.

  5. Present Tense Subjunctive • The present tense subjunctive uses the same personal endings as regular verbs (swap out “m” for “o” in 1st person singular): • ACTIVE VOICE: PASSIVE VOICE: • M -MUS -R -MUR • S -TIS -RIS -MINI • T -NT -TUR -NTUR

  6. Present Tense Subjunctive • Since present tense subjunctive uses the same personal endings, something else has to change to make it different from regular present tense. • It’s all in the VOWELS!

  14. Volitive Subjunctive • The volitive subjunctive is translated by “let” or sometimes “should.” • The negative is “ne” (not “non”). • It works as a main verb. • Other names for volitive: hortatory (for 1st person plural “let’s…”), jussive (from “iubeo: to order”)
