Subjunctive mood: For a basic understanding of the subjunctives, could you please go through the following small note.
Subjunctive mood sentences are special types of sentences, which sidestep the normal rules applied to subject verb agreement in number and tense but still considered grammatical.
There are subjunctive mood uses in the present tense and the past tense. In the present or the command subjunctive, the verb in the subordinate clause is always in the bare infinitive , even if the subject is plural and the tense is past or future. Sentences in which one would use such verbs as is, are, was, were or will be , should use the bare infinitive verb - be -, in the case of the subjunctive mood.
The subjunctive mood is used when the main verb indicates a desire, intention, command, recommendation, request, resolution, advice or stipulation. . It is also used along with such words as advisable, better, desirable, and directive, essential, fitting, imperative, important, necessary, urgent and vital. Very important thing here is that the word - that -will always accompany such subjunctive mood sentences and the verb of the relative sentences will always be the base form called 'the bare infinitive' or the root form of the verb
