"We can't tell, I s'pose," replied the child; "but I think they are, anyway. Now what shall I say?" "The subjunctive mood, past perfect tense of the verb 'to know." "If I had known If thou hadst known If he had known If we had known If you had known If they had known" "Oh, it is the saddest tense," sighed Rebecca with a little a little break in her voice; "nothing but ifs, ifs, ifs!
Nor was it any better in Latin. We were reading, during that term the ``De Senectute'' of Cicero, a beautiful book; but to our tutor it was neither more nor less than a series of pegs on which to hang Zumpt's rules for the subjunctive mood. The translation was hurried through, as of little account.
So of verbs: kallo saya buli jalan, If I could walk: this may be termed the preter-imperfect tense of the subjunctive or potential mood of the verb jalan; whereas it is in fact a sentence of which jalan, buli, etc. are constituent words.

I think I'd move to one of the quieter ones, the French ones, if I were a little surer of my pronunciation and the subjunctive mood." "You don't mean to say you've been studying French!" He coloured a little, and laughed. "You think it ridiculous at my time of life?
"What are you thinking of, boy? That's the indicative mood. I asked for the subjunctive. Take your hands out of your pockets, sir, and don't stand there glowering at the whaling ships. They'll not be away till afternoon. Now, the subjunctive mood?" "I can't say it, sir. I could not get it into my head," whined Tom. "Can't! do you say? Can't! Was there ever such a word?
He is a lobster that waits for the sea to come to him, instead of going to it, though its waves may be dashing at his feet. Should the sea accommodate him in time, well enough; otherwise he dies. These men make the subjunctive heroes of the world. They always "might," "could," "would" or "should" do some great thing; but they never get into the imperative mood to do it.
You might express it, by 'if I had done such and such, so and so would have happened. The worlds of the subjunctive mode." "Now how the devil does it do that?" "Simple, for van Manderpootz!
