Subjunctive Form - Worksheet

The Subjunctive Form Worksheet is an educational resource designed to help students identify and use the subjunctive mood in English sentences. The worksheet presents a series of statements, instructing students to place a tick next to the ones that are written in the subjunctive form. For example, phrases such as "We ask that sports day be postponed due to the rain" and "If he were here, I would let him play" illustrate the use of the subjunctive. The worksheet also includes exercises where students must underline words that indicate the subjunctive form, such as "were" in "If Harry were to be picked, we would win the game easily" or "write" in "I suggest that she write to her local MP."

In addition to identification, the worksheet provides practice for students to convert sentences into the subjunctive form. Sentences like "If that was the case, I would leave" are to be changed to their correct subjunctive form, "If that were the case, I would leave." The worksheet encourages learners to think critically about sentence structure and verb forms, enhancing their understanding of this particular aspect of English grammar. Moreover, students are prompted to complete sentences using the subjunctive form, further reinforcing their grasp of how to express wishes, demands, or suggestions in a grammatically correct manner.
