subjunctive mood

Etymology
From (from, from  + , perfect passive participle of  + adjective suffix ) +  (from ).

Noun

 * 1)  Mood expressing an action or state which is hypothetical or anticipated rather than actual, including wishes and commands.

Usage notes
Subjunctive mood is used much more in some other languages, such as Spanish and Latin, than it is in English. Apart from the third-person singular form without the suffix -(e)s (I want that he go), modern English has only one verb that has mutually distinguishable indicative and subjunctive forms &mdash;.
