Examples on usage notes etc.[edit]
My edits:
- May he rest in peace is not an example of subjunctive, because rest is an infinitive, not a subjunctive form, since it is preceded by the auxiliary may.
- I wrote all the irregular subjunctive forms of be, that is, those distinguishable from the indicative forms, by copypasting the examples from the articles beest and wert and using the same examples as above. -- Frous 00:04, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
“..., including wishes and commands. ”[edit]
Aren’t commands the imperative mood? — Ungoliant (Falai) 06:17, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
The note in irrealis, which explicitly meantions subjunctive mood, should be added here too. Secondly, apart from were, is was also irrealis? --Backinstadiums (talk) 16:48, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
