Up until now, Professor Muellner has stressed that verbs in the Subjunctive and Optative moods cannot be independently translated until the overall structure of the sentence is understood (as with conditional sentences, we need to first identify the type of condition before proceeding to translate). This video introduces independent uses of verbs in the subjunctive mood (stay tuned for a similar video for the optative mood), how to identify them, and formulas for translating them. Check out pages 145-146 in the Hansen & Quinn textbook for the corresponding lesson.
