Isn't this just the subjunctive, really?70.187.205.60 02:57, 6 October 2006 (UTC)


 * As I learned it, the subjunctive was a mood to indicate uncertainty or a condition that was not true, whereas the conditional was used to indicate an outcome were the antecedent true. Thus, this previous sentence had a clause in the subjunctive (were the antecedent true). I would have used a different mood had the antecedent been actually true (both conditional and subjunctive).


 * If I am right, then you are also correct. There is some confusion of terms in this article. I would correct it were I a grammarian. Svyatoslav 22:53, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
