Question 17 • GA-English Language Arts 8

Which sentence is subjunctive but not conditional?

Answer
A
I suggest that you finish your dinner before playing video games.
B
If you finish your dinner, you can have dessert.
C
If you hadn't had so many snacks, you would have more of an appetite.
D
If you don't finish your dinner, you can't have snacks tomorrow.

Explanation

A uses the subjunctive to express a suggestion: “I suggest that you finish your dinner.” The verb “finish” has its base form after “suggest that,” and the sentence does not state a condition. Choices B, C, and D are conditional because each uses an “if” clause to describe a condition and its result.
