−	The Subjunctive is a verb mood typically used in subordinate clauses. It has three main uses: 1) it can express condition ("He '''would come''' here"), 2) it expresses commands ("'''Come''' here!"), and it indicates a cited question, ~~indirect question~~ ("She asks when he '''comes'''.") In this contest, we will apply only these last two uses when the Subjunctive is used in indirect commands and questions.	+	The Subjunctive is a verb mood typically used in subordinate clauses.

In this contest, we will apply only these last two uses when the Subjunctive is used in indirect commands and questions.
−		+
−	~~English has a very shy Subjunctive which appears only in a few situations visibly, but sometimes it's there even if the verb does not show it. Examples of English Subjunctives are the following:~~	+
−		+
−	~~"I wish he were here." (In Indicative it would have been "He is here.")~~	+
−		+
−	~~The teachers insisted that the homework be ready." (In Indicative it would have been "The homework is ready.")~~	+
−		+
−	"Were" is not Past, and "be" is not infinitive, but both are Subjunctives here. English uses two main Subjunctive forms, the Present Subjunctive (he be, he go, he come) and the Past Subjunctive (he were, he went, he came), which look identical to the normal Indicative forms. These forms, however, sound archaic to modern English speakers, and in most of the sentences, when Latin uses Subjunctive, English uses auxiliary verbs like, "may", might", "would", "should", "can", or "could". These are expressed in Latin by the Subjunctive.	+

	Latin uses four Subjunctive Tenses: Present Subjunctive, Imperfect Subjunctive, Perfect Subjunctive and Pluperfect Subjunctive. These are used according to the "Sequence of Tenses" rules which you will see within two minutes. But before we proceed, please take a look at the following links to see how the Subjunctive Tenses look like:		Latin uses four Subjunctive Tenses: Present Subjunctive, Imperfect Subjunctive, Perfect Subjunctive and Pluperfect Subjunctive.

		+	This is how Indirect Commands work in Latin. If the verb introducing the Indirect Command is Present, Latin uses Present Subjunctive in the subordinate clause; if the main verb is Past, Latin uses Imperfect Subjunctive in the subordinate clause.
