        What Is the Subjunctive Mood?什么是虚拟语气
        The subjunctive mood is the verb form used to express a wish, a suggestion, a command, or a condition that is contrary to fact.虚拟语气是一个用于描述希望、建议、要求或与事实相反的情况的时态。
        The form of a verb in the subjunctive mood may differ from the form with the same subject which is not in the subjunctive mood.在同一话题下虚拟语气中的动词有别于其它时态。
        For example:举个例子：
        •I was in your position two years ago.(not in the subjunctive mood)两年前我处于你现在的位置。（不是虚拟语气）
        •If I were in your position, I would do the same.(subjunctive mood)如果我处于你的位置，我也会做同样的事。（虚拟语气）
        Examples of the Subjunctive Mood虚拟语气例句
        Here are some examples of verbs in the subjunctive mood:以下是一些动词在虚拟语气中的应用：
        •I wish it were still in use.(it was becomes it were)我希望他们还能用。（was变成了were）
        •The board recommended that the motion be passed immediately.(motion is passed becomes motion be passed)董事会希望这个提议能马上通过。（is passed变成了be passed）
        •She suggests that Mark work full time from Saturday.(Mark works becomes Mark work)她建议马克从星期六开始全职工作。（works变成了work）
        •He said it was essential that Johan guard the box.(Johan guards becomes Johan guard)他说约翰保护这个箱子是有必要的。（guards变成了guard）
        •It is imperative that the game begin at once.(game begins becomes game begin)重要的是游戏要马上开始。（begins变成了begin）
        The non-subjunctive forms of verbs are gradually replacing the subjunctive forms.非虚拟语气中的动词在虚拟语气中通常会被替换。
