The Past and Future Tenses of the Subjunctive are like those of the Indicative Mood, with a Conjunction expressive of doubt prefixed to the Nominative Case of the verb.

A verb in the Infinitive Mood has no Nominative Case, and therefore no conjugation of person and number.

All Regular Verbs are conjugated as the verb to walk, and Irregular Verbs are the same in the formation of the

• The latter of these forms is used when futurity as well as doubt is implied, and the former when doubt only is implied; as "If thou walkest so fast, I shall be tired." "If thou walk to town to-morrow, I will go with thee."

phrases, but the termination of the verb varies according to its peculiar irregularity.

Now (as an exercise) conjugate the Verb to talk in the same manner as the Verb to walk through all its Persons.

CHAPTER XXXVII.

CONJUGATION OF THE IRREGULAR NEUTER VERB TO BE.

He may or can be.

PRESENT TENSE.

The first of these forms is used when doubt is implied without reference to the future; and the latter when contingency, or doubt and futurity are implied; as "If I am five feet high, If thou art five feet two inches high, and if he is five feet four inches high, we are but short; and, in two years to come, if thou be as tall as he is now, and if I be as tall as thou art now, and if he be one inch taller than he is now, we shall then make collectively but fifteen feet eleven inches."

If I was or were.

If thou wast or wert.

If he was or were.

Imperfect Tense.

If we were.

If ye or you were.
If they were.

When futurity is not implied in the phrases of the Subjunctive Mood, their forms are the same as the Indicative phrases with a conjunction expressive of doubt prefixed, except that the verb to be in the Imperfect Tense, does not always imply futurity in the Subjunctive or the latter form, as will be explained in Syntax.

Infinitive Mood.

PRESENT TENSE.

To be.

Perfect Past Tense.

To have been.

Recite or write (as an exercise) the conjugation of the Verb to be from memory; and this, well done, will assist you much in the conjugation of every Verb in the language.

Every Active Transitive Verb becomes a Passive Verb, by prefixing the verb to be before the Perfect Participle* of the Verb. That this may be well understood, the Active Transitive, and Passive phrases of the Verb, are here given together.+
