Summary

This unit continues work on the present subjunctive, this time focusing on the expression of hopes, feelings, evaluations and indications of influence or obligation in the main clause that trigger the subjunctive in the subordinate clause. Frequently, what is described in the subordinate clause has yet to happen or may not happen at all. Students are thus enabled to speak about what they hope, wish or imagine will happen and how to issue orders and negotiate prohibitions. A survey of definite, indefinite and relative pronouns and opportunities to practise them in individual and pair-work exercises foster greater flexibility in communication.
