Subjunctive Clauses

Subjunctive clauses

• Subjunctive clauses are comparable to a tow truck towing another vehicle
• The indicative clause "tows" the other subjunctive vehicle
• The tow hitch is a word that connects the sentence like "ut" or "ne"
• Since the subjunctive clause cannot move, it needs something to allow it to

Result Clauses

• Tow hitch- ut/ ut non
•  Subjunctive clause
• Example: I was so hungry that I ate an entire table of food.
• Result clauses describe the result of an action or feeling.
