Newsgroup: it.cultura.linguistica.inglese
Titolo: sul congiuntivo....

I'd like too much speak and write english but, because i haven't any ways to
do it with someone, i will be very happy if there is here (in this
newsgroup) anyone who want to exchange opinions, messages, or other with me.
May be a way to learn much more of english speaking and the gramatical rules
that it has.
Hi, Fabio. Please help me. I've got to make a universitary test about
english.....

grammar."
Vorrei suggerire che o:
" ... I would (or should) be very happy if there was someone here
in this newsgroup who would like to ..." o
" ... I will be very happy if there is someone here
in this newsgroup who wants to ..." sarebbe meglio.
Che cosa ne pensi?
I would be happy if you agreed with me.
I will be happy if you agree with me.
In any case, I will be happy whether you agree with me or not. :)
Ciao,
Raymot

Scusami ma vuole dire che sia "...I would be very happy if you agreed with
me" e "....I will be very happy if you agree with me" potrebbero avere la
stessa traduzione.
1) Perchč leghi "agreed" al "would"?
Grazie, Fabio

1) Perchè leghi "agreed" al "would"?
It sounds better to me. "agreed" is subjunctive.
Sarò felice se c'e qualcuno che è d'accordo.  (indicativo)
Sarei felice se c'e qualcuno che fossi d'accordo. (congiuntivo) opp. (?)
Sarei felice se ci fosse qualcuno che è d'accordo. (??)
(Spero che queste frasi sono corrette in italiano; credo che la mia frase
orginale sia più corretta in inglese!)
In inglese, una proposizione condizionale viene seguito di
una nel congiuntivo o nel conditionale.
I would be grateful if you would reply at once. (conditional -
conditional --
in English you can follow "if" with a conditional)
I'd be delighted if you'd come tomorrow.
I'd be grateful if you were to reply at once. (conditional: subjunctive)
I'd be grateful if you replied at once. (more colloquial)
I'd be delighted if you were to come tomorrow. (formal)
I'd be delighted if you came tomorrow. (more colloquial)
a) I'll be grateful if you reply at once. (Future: Present [with future
meaning])
b) I'll be grateful if you'll reply at once. (less common in English than
Italian)
c) I'll be delighted if you come tomorrow. (I'll be delighted tomorrow if
you turn up)
d) I'll be delighted if you'll come tomorrow. (slightly different meaning --
I'll
be delighted now if you say you'll come tomorrow). ~ I'll be delighted if
you'd come tomorrow. ~ I'd be delighted if you'd come tomorrow.
However you translate these last three sentences they mean basically
the same thing.
Also:
I would have been delighted if you had come yesterday.
I would have been delighted had you come yesterday.  (less often used)
I was delighted that you came yesterday.
I am delighted that you have come. (present - present perfect)  Best, or:
I am delighted that you came. (present - past (ambiguous - could refer to
present
or past).
Dissenting opinions always welcome.
Ciao,
