Understanding SUBJUNCTIVE
Subjunctive
is a verb that is used to visualize the result of something that did
not exist or did not occur, which may be a wish (hope), requirements
(needs), and the suggestion (suggestion). Or in other words, the meaning of the sentence subjunctive is always contrary to reality or facts.
The words used in the subjunctive is the "wish" (want / expect), "as
if / as though" (as it were), "would rather" (more like), "if only" (if /
if any).
