Write a sentence using a verb in the subjunctive mood and then explain how you recognize the use of the subjunctive mood.
(Completely original, and like an 8th grader wrote it)
I wish I were able to stay up past my bedtime, but my mom won't let me.
I recognize the use of the subjunctive mood in the verb "were" because it is expressing a hypothetical situation or a wish that is contrary to reality.
