According to MGMAT, the subjunctive mood occurs in two cases:
1) Speculation/condition contrary to fact. This usually occurs in conjunction with "if" (without then)
or
2) When there is a "bossy word" like require/demand/request/suggest/ insist etc.. + "that"
However, I've seen multiple cases where there is a bossy word but NO "that" and it is still considered subjunctive mood. Are these cases correct?

Hi thailandvc,
I recommend that you post specific examples
In the overwhelming majority of cases 'that' is required for 'bossy' words, but although I can't come up with any off the top of my head, I wouldn't be at all surprised to find I'd forgotten about a narrow exception that I'd recognize if I were to see it. If English were simple, we wouldn't need to be tested on it, right?
