SECTION CCCL.-TWO FORMS OF THE SUBJUNCTIVE MODE.. The subjunctive mode of common verbs in the active has two forms in the present tense, one of which is given in the conjugation of the verb To take, and the other is the same as that of the indicative. The forms for the other tenses of that voice are the same as those for the indicative, with this difference in the futures, that the distinction between shall and will in the different persons of the verb which obtains in the indicative is not observed in the subjunctive mode.. Thus we can say, If I shall take, if thou shalt take, if he shall take; and with the other we can say, If I will take, if thou wilt take, if he will take. In the passive voice the subjunctive mode has two forms in the present and past tenses, one of which is given, and the other is the same as the indicative. The other tenses, with the exception of the futures, which are given, are the same as the indicative. FUTURE TENSE (PREDICTIVE). Plural. 1. I shall be taken. FUTURE TENSE (PROMISSIVE). Singular. 1.
