French Grammar: The Subjunctive – Basics (*previously published doc)
New paragraph added to end of STUDY section, as follows:
…
WHEN TO USE THE SUBJUNCTIVE?
The subjunctive is used in numerous circumstances. A good way to remember what these circumstances are is to learn the acronym “WEIRDOS + C” :
Wants / Wishes –> (Je désire que … : I wish that …)
Emotions –> (Je suis surpris que … : I am surprised that …)
Impersonal Expressions –> (Il est nécessaire que … : It is necessary that …)
Requests / Recommendations –> (Je demande que … : I ask that …)
Doubts / Denial –> (Je doute que … : I doubt that …)
Opinions –> (C’est une chance que … : It’s lucky that …)
Superlatives –> (…le meilleur … que … : … the best … that …)
+
Certain Conjunctions –> (Afin que … : In order that …)
These circumstances are explained in detail in other LEAF French Grammar lessons on the subjunctive.
