Choose which answer choice best expresses the underlined portion of the following sentence. If the original sentence is the best choice, select “NO CHANGE.”

Paul is a very good basketball player, but he wishes he was just a little bit taller so that he could dunk.

Your answer:

he is

Your answer:

NO CHANGE

Your answer:

that he was

Correct answer:

he were

Explanation:

Answer: “he were” Statements made in a wishful, hypothetical sense should use the subjunctive mood, which for the verb “to be” (is, was, were, have been) means that you use the tense “were.” A way to remember the need for the subjunctive mood in these hypothetical situations (e.g. “If I were an astronaut” or “I wish she were here”) is that they’re hypothetical, so they didn’t actually happen. Therefore, a “unique” verb form helps to clarify that.

Flashcards: Use Indicative, Imperative, Interrogative, Conditional, and Subjunctive Verbs: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.8.1.C

Choose which answer choice best expresses the underlined portion of the following sentence. If the original sentence is the best choice, select “NO CHANGE.”

Given the rapid spread of the virus, her doctor recommended that she stays home from work so that she doesn’t take undue risks while pregnant.

Your answer:

that she should stay

Your answer:

her to stay

Your answer:

NO CHANGE

Correct answer:

that she stay

Explanation:

Answer: “that she stay” When someone commands, recommends, demands, mandates, etc. that something happen, the sentence often uses the “imperative mood.” The imperative mood uses a structure of Recommend (or demand, etc.) + That (Person) + Infinitive Form of Verb, Minus “to.” Which seems like an odd math problem but consider these options:

The teacher recommended that Julie study… (the infinitive form is “to study” so the Imperative Mood is “study”)

The rulebook mandates that each player wear a helmet (the infinitive form is “to wear” so the Imperative Mood is “wear”)

For this sentence, the doctor recommends that something happen, so the imperative mood is “the doctor recommends that she stay” (the infinitive form is “to stay so we’ll use “stay”).
