The Subjunctive

In my experience, the subjunctive is the verbal mood that scares native English learners more than any other.

Although the subjunctive exists in the English language, people rarely use it nowadays. It isn't easy for my students to understand that Italian speakers use the subjunctive a lot. For them, the only small consolation is that many Italians also know little about it and tend to use it badly.

This module intends to offer a straightforward presentation of the subjunctive and its uses. Exercises and activities will help learners familiarise with this much mistreated and little loved verbal mood.

The module can be used independently as an intensive "workshop" for learning, reviewing and practising. Or as part of an Italian language and grammar course to supplement the material used. The user can choose which features to use and which not according to the level and objectives.
