Como é diferente do português?
No português, muitas vezes usamos o subjuntivo com conjugações específicas, como:
Eu quero que você estude mais.
É necessário que ele esteja preparado.
No inglês, em vez de conjugar o verbo, usamos sempre a forma base, igual para todos os sujeitos.
Por exemplo:
I recommend that he/she/they/we/you study.
Observe que o verbo não muda para he ou she.
Dicas de como usar essa forma verbal:
Use o verbo na forma base (sem "s", "ed" ou "ing") depois de certos verbos, adjetivos ou substantivos que indicam sugestões, ordens, ou necessidade.
Não importa o sujeito (he, she, it, they), o verbo sempre fica igual.
O subjuntivo em inglês aparece mais em contextos formais ou escritos, mas você pode vê-lo uma vez ou outra no inglês falado por aí.
Com prática, isso fica natural! 😊

Examples of the Base Form in the Subjunctive:

Recommend:

Ask:
