Bloomin great presentation!
kick the 👍 button. thank you perfect teacher
Thank you too!
you forgot conditional and interrogative btw this was helpful thanks XD
Thanks, Malak. To clarify, I've used the term mood to refer particularly to cases where the verb changes form. In English, the interrogative mood and the conditional do not actually lead to new verb forms. However, I probably could be clearer about this, and I might redo the video at some point to add clarification. Thanks.
@@thenatureofwriting9222 no problem anytime :) I just needed both of those cause after I studied those three the ones you listed I came to recap what I revised for my exam and found out that the conditional and interrogative were included and I really was confused between conditional and subjunctive but luckily I understood after struggling all night! thanks and btw you helped me understand those three basics which made the exam easier! thank you :)

THANK YOUN NOW ILL PASS MY FINALS
What the...? wow. I knew about "I was/were" but missing S in 3rd-person verbs? I'm shocked, thank you.
You're welcome (belatedly)!
This was really helpful thanks
The Present Subjunctive Mood messes me up, even as a native speaker, probably since I was quiet and never talked nor read much during my younger years. Now, I am trying to perfect my writing to improve it.
Do you always remove the 's' in the third person singular for Subjunctive Mood? It sounds strange to me right now.
Take Care, With Love Through God and Jesus and The Holy Ghost,
Hi Anthony, thanks for the feedback! To see exactly the different ways to form the subjunctive, check out the page on our website. It provides more detailed information about the subjunctive: natureofwriting.com/courses/parts-of-speech/lessons/verbs-characteristics/topic/mood/
Thanks for the informative video. However, I would like to point out that "contrary to fact" suggests that it is the opposite to a fact, that is, false, I would have stayed with the expression, "It is a hypothetical situation," and left the "contrary to fact" explanation outside of the video.
Excellent point -- "contrary to fact" may easily be misleading. However, it is a phrase used by most grammar books. The main thing is not to take it too literally!
I agree: I preferred his "unknown to be fact" explanation better, that he used afterward.
🔥💯
Are you sure ‘Dharma (or God, Darwin, Sagan-what have you) help us’ is not an interrogative- or abbreviated imperative- (as in ‘Zeus (please) help us’ statement? That is how I had interpreted it my whole life.
I suppose you can probably say "God help us" in different ways, for instance asking "Will God help us?" or commanding: "Help us God." But the expression "God help us" is more like "May God help us," and is in that sense subjunctive. Hope that helps.
Only watched it bc my teacher maid me
I dunno, i want to put a comma after "God"and it sounds like a simple indicative mood to me "God, help us'. That's it, no subjunctive mood.
Sorry for the late reply. If you phrase it like that, with a comma, it would make it imperative. However, that changes the tone quite a bit!
My lecturer sendme here yaa
