explain what the subjunctive mood is in English, and why it is used in the following example. Make sure you answer both parts of this question for full credit! Example sentence- "Quiere que le des la maleta".
The subjunctive mood is a verb form in English that is used to express doubt, wishes, requests, or hypothetical situations. It is commonly used after expressions of desire, need, suggestion, and doubt.
In the example sentence "Quiere que le des la maleta," the subjunctive mood is used because it follows the expression of desire "Quiere que" (He wants that). The verb "des" is in the subjunctive mood to indicate that the action of giving the suitcase is desired by someone else, rather than stating a fact or a certainty.
