Slide2What Is the Subjunctive Mood?
You’ve already learned 2 moods of Latin verbs:
1. the indicative mood, used for statements of fact and asking questions
2. the imperative mood, used for commands
Slide3Subjunctive Mood
The subjunctive mood gives more of the speaker’s or writer’s opinion or attitude toward the truth of a statement.
It can be used independently, as a main verb.
It’s often used in dependent clauses, too.
Slide4Subjunctive Tenses
We’ve learned 6 tenses of Latin verbs.
The subjunctive only has 4 tenses!
It also has active/passive voice.
Tenses:
Present
Imperfect
PerfectPluperfect
There is no such thing as the future or future perfect subjunctive.
Slide5Present Tense Subjunctive
The present tense subjunctive uses the same personal endings as regular verbs (swap out “m” for “o” in 1
st
person singular):
ACTIVE VOICE: PASSIVE VOICE:
M -MUS -R -MUR
S -TIS -RIS -MINI
T -NT -TUR -NTUR
Slide6Present Tense Subjunctive
Since present tense subjunctive uses the same personal endings, something else has to change to make it different from regular present tense.
It’s all in the VOWELS!

Slide12So…what does it do?
A common independent use of the present subjunctive is for something called the
volitive
subjunctive.
(remember “
volo
” for “wish/want”?)
It expresses the speakers wish, or desire, that something be done.
Slide13Volitive Subjunctive
Let them prepare dinner. OR They should prepare dinner.
Cenam
par

paro
, parare
: prepare)

e
mus. (exploro, explorare)Ne silvam exploremus. Let’s not explore the forest.
Slide14Volitive Subjunctive
The
volitive
subjunctive is translated by “let” or sometimes “should.”
The negative is “ne” (not “non”).
It works as a main verb.
Other names for
volitive: hortatory (for 1
st
person plural “let’s…”), jussive (from “
iubeo
: to order”)
