May 10 at 8:20 | comment | added | Stuart F | English speakers definitely wouldn't use the subjunctive in most of these cases. In particular you've misunderstood the "she needs" expression: it takes a noun, here modified by a subordinate clause with "that". But this is a complex question. I suggest you look at each of your examples and try and think why it might need a subjunctive in English. Or try and break the question down some other way: some of these issues are already covered in questions. As it is, you seem to be asking for every verb English might possibly the subjunctive with, which is too big a topic for a question. | |
May 10 at 7:55 | comment | added | Shoe | It would be helpful if you could cite one or other of the manuals that you refer to and, ideally, include relevant passges that support your "secondary confirmation". In advance of a useful answer, I will just note that only the "crucial" sentences correctly use the (mandative) subjunctive in English. | |
