C8: Subjunctive Mood

C8: Subjunctive Mood: Use the subjective mood when writing of hypotheticals, imaginary scenarios, or suggestions.  See the following: https://web.cn.edu/kwheeler/grammar_subjunctive.html

Hypothetical:

 If he were ten years younger, he would be much better at the limbo.

 If Jonas were here, the family wouldn’t fight like this.

 Imaginary Scenario:

 If I were seven feet tall, I’d focus my life entirely on basketball.

 If she were any other animal but a human, she’d be a sloth.

 Suggestions:

If the second blanket were to be placed at the end of the bed, our feet would be warmer.

 I suggest the main course arrive after the appetizers.
