Subjunctive

Subjunctive: The subjunctive mood is used to express wishes, suggestions, doubts, hypothetical situations, and actions contrary to fact. In English, the subjunctive is often formed by using the base form of the verb, without adding -s in the third-person singular. The subjunctive mood is commonly used after certain verbs, expressions, and conjunctions such as "wish," "suggest," "demand," "recommend," "if," "although," "lest," and "unless."
