    The subjunctive mood in French is used to express actions or ideas that are uncertain, such as wants, emotions, doubts, possibilities, judgments. It is found in dependent clauses introduced by que or qui, and the subjects of the dependent and main clauses are usually different. While conjugating irregular and stem-changing verbs into the subjunctive can be confusing, the subjunctive follows patterns based on the present tense conjugations of ils and nous. A few verbs like avoir, être, faire, aller, pouvoir, savoir, and vouloir are irregular in the subjunctive.

    The subjunctive mood is used to express actions or ideas which are subjective or otherwise uncertain: will/wanting, emotion, doubt,

    possibility, necessity, judgment. It is nearly always found in dependent clauses introduced by que or qui, and the subjects of the dependent and main clauses are usually different. Je veux que tu le fasses. I want you to do it. Il faut que nous partions. it is necessary that we leave. The subjunctive can seem overwhelming, but the thing to remember is the subjunctive = subjectivity, unreality. That should help you figure it out at least 90% of the time. NOTE: There is no future subjunctive. Even if the action is to happen in the future, the present subjunctive is used. However, there is a past subjunctive. While not as difficult as using the French subjunctive, conjugating irregular and stem-changing verbs into the subjunctive can be a little confusing. Stem-changing verbs and most irregular verbs follow the same pattern as regular verbs for the singular conjugations (je, tu, il/elle/on) as well as the third person plural (ils/elles): the subjunctive stem comes from the present tense conjugation of ils.

    present ils tense: stem boivsubjunctive endin gs ... que -e boive je ... que -es boives

    boivent

    envoient prennen t

    viennent

    the nous and vous forms of the subjunctive find their stems in the present tense conjugation of nous: present nous buvons envoyon prenons venons tense: s stem buvenvoyprenvensubjunctive endin gs ... que -ions buvions envoyio prenions venions nous ns ... que -iez buviez envoyie preniez veniez vous z This two-stem subjunctive pattern applies to all stem-changing verbs as well as all but seven irregular verbs.

    Five verbs have irregular subjunctive stems but take the same endings as above: One stem faire pouvoi r fasspuissfasse puisse Two stems* aller vouloir aill- / allaille veuill/ voulveuille

    *These two verbs have different stems for je/tu/il/ils and nous/vous.

    And finally, two verbs have irregular stems as well irregular endings: avoi r aie tre sois
