*The Present subjunctive is here given in two forms: 1st, in the subjunctive y elliptical form, used when both contingency and futurity are implied; and 2d, the indicative form, used when contingency only, and not futurity is implied. In parsing, the latter should be called the "indicative used subjunctively," being the indicative mood in form, and rendered subjunctive only by the conjunction prefixed. This is true also of the other tenses in this mood. The emphatic forms of the present are, If I do love, if thou do love, if he do love, etc.; of the past, If I did love, if thou didst love, etc. as in the indicative.

All irregular verbs should be conjugated as in § 32 Every teacher, however, will adopt the course which he prefers. ↑ In parsing, it is important and will save much time to state every thing re quired in as few words as possible, to observe always the same order, and without waiting to have every thing drawn out by questions.
