      Not understanding these concepts doesn’t mean that you aren’t fluent. Fluency means you can express yourself and understand efficiently, not that you have no errors. Many native speakers do not even know the subjunctive exists.

    Another example of the subjunctive in English is "may" and "might," the respective subjunctive forms of "can" and "could." People use "May I..." when asking for permission, as in "May I open the window?" ("Can I open the window?" literally means "Am I strong enough to open the window?" though many people say this instead of "May I," particularly children.)
    "May" is also used in the "volitive subjunctive" to express a wish, as in "May you live to the age of 100!"
    "Lest" is also used with negative subjunctives: "lest it be lost" means "so that it will not be lost" And it's also used with the EXTREMELY rare negative volitive subjunctive--"Lest we forget," which means "May we remember," is the language's only example of this.
    Another subjunctive expression I like is "On your head be it!" (Which means "If things go wrong, let it be YOUR responsibility!")

    • @Blaqjaqshellaq
      @Blaqjaqshellaq ปีที่แล้ว

      A bit more about "may" and "might":
      "It may not happen" means "I don't know that it will happen."
      "It may happen" means "I don't know that it won't happen."
      "It may or may not happen" means "I don't know whether it will happen."
      "It may not have happened" means "I don't know that it happened.
      "It might not happen" means "I don't know that it would happen."
      "It might not have happened" means "I don't know that it would have happened."

    • @RobertBee-fs8hv

      Right on. I'm a American English speaker and American English speakers will always say, "Can I open the window" when they mean "may I open the window"
      If some one said, "May i open the window, their listeners would roll their eyes . Nobody says it that way in America

    Well done Lucy, you have explained a complex issue in a simple and straighforward way. Many native English speakers do not understand the use of the subjunctive in English so it must be even harder for people learning English as a second language. Sadly, judging from the number of people who say, "If I was you", the subjunctive seems to be disappearing from common use in English. This lesson is a timely reminder of its importance.
