Question 1 • ELPGEQ3 M/J Language Arts 3 - 1001070 HCPS v24

Which sentence is in the subjunctive mood?

Answer
A
Mother insisted that they wash their hands before dinner.
B
Please wash your hands before every meal.
C
Did you wash your hands before sitting down to eat?
D
I wash my hands before every meal.

Explanation

The subjunctive mood is used for a demand, recommendation, or insistence, often in a clause beginning with “that.” In A, “insisted that they wash” expresses a demand, and “wash” stays in its base form. B is a command, C is a question, and D is a statement of fact.
