PRACTICE - Subjunctive Mood - INTERMEDIATE - Part I

Learning Target - I can identify types of subjunctive clauses (Cum Clauses, Indirect Questions, Ut Clauses, Hortatory Clauses) and subjunctive verb forms (especially Present Tense).

Be sure to have read the Latin Library explanation of Cum Clauses:

http://www.thelatinlibrary.com/101/cumclauses.pdf

CUM CLAUSES -

'Cum' introduces dependent subjunctive clauses and means:
when, while, after, since, because. although, as
EXAMPLE: The student woke up AFTER his alarm went off.

Dependent subjunctive clauses introduced by question words:
when, where, how, why, who, if, ...
EXAMPLE: I know WHERE you were yesterday.

UT CLAUSES -

Dependent subjunctive clauses introduced by "ut":
so that, to, in order to = PURPOSE CLAUSES
to = INDIRECT COMMANDS
EXAMPLES: I ran home SO THAT I wouldn't miss dinner.
She told me TO be home before the street lights went on.

HORTATORY CLAUSES -

Independent subjunctive clauses that stand on their own
Use a present subjunctive ("weird vowel") and mean:
"Let's" or "Would that"
