Abstract
Subjunctive is assumption that it will not happened. Among the
subjunctive and conditional sentences have the same and different things. Most of the
indicative verb forms are used for the subjunctive mood, but the time that they
express is not usually the same. We can use the subjunctive in that clause
saying that something is necessary. Kinds of conditional subjunctive are wish,
as if/as though, if only and would rather. present subjunctive, serves to
express assumptions or expectations about events or circumstances which do not
correspond to reality today. Past subjunctive is used to express assumptions or
expectations about events or circumstances which do not correspond to the
reality of the past.

circumstances which do not correspond to reality today. Past subjunctive is
used to express assumptions or expectations about events or circumstances which
do not correspond to the reality of the past. (Suherman. Top Grammar. (Pare: CV Resonansi Ilmu, 2012), 341).
Subjunctive
is a sentence modality used to express an expectation or a different state in
the fact that actually happened. (Aswir Suhud. Smart Way to the Grammar.

other type (type 2 of conditional sentence) sentence means what the subject
desire can’t be fact or impossible to happen which is this has relation to
subjunctive. This also mostly have same rules with the subjunctive. Therefore
this one (type 2 conditional sentence) will be discussed in subjunctive also.

The type II of
conditional sentence can be named unreal condition or contrary-to-fact in the
present or future.

In

her lecturer.
Methodology
For making this
journal, we searched and collected the information from the books and internet.
We collected two books that discussed about subjunctive: which one is Suherman.
Top Grammar and Aswir Suhud, Smart Way to the Grammar. This journal is completed on Sunday, November 26th, 2016 at 16: 35 pm.
Result and Discussion
The result of our discussion is improving the quality of our knowledge about grammar in our focus
to explain in detail the using of Subjunctive because there are many people
especially students, they did not understand and confuse about how to
Subjunctive.
Conclusion and
Implication
From the discussion above it can be concluded that Subjunctive is assumption
that it will not happened. Among the subjunctive and conditional sentences have
the same and different things. The same between them is they have same
sentences that discussed about thing that will not happened. The difference is
in conditional sentences also has the sentence that discussed the thing that
can be happen. Then, in subjunctive are all sentences about something that will
not happen or contrary with the fact.
With understanding the subjunctive we can
be easier to express something from our mind with the sentence.
That is a brief discussion of subjunctive. may be useful. Thank you.
