Now speak each of the verbs, _love, hate, walk, smile, rule_, and
_conquer_, in the first person of each tense in this mood, with the
pronoun _I_ before it; thus, indicative mood, pres. tense, first pers.
sing. I love; imperf. I loved; perf. I have loved; and so on, through
all the tenses. If you learn thoroughly the conjugation of the verb in
the indicative mood, you will find no difficulty in conjugating it
through those that follow, for in the conjugation through all the moods,
there is a great similarity.
SUBJUNCTIVE MOOD.
Present Tense, or elliptical future.--_Conjunctive form_.
_Singular_. _Plural_.
1. If I love, 1. If we love,
2. If thou love, 2. If ye _or_ you love,
3. If he love. 3. If they love.
Look again at the conjugation in the indicative present, and you will
observe, that the form of the verb differs from this form in the
subjunctive. The verb in the present tense of this mood, does not vary
its termination on account of number or person. This is called the
_conjunctive_ form of the verb; but sometimes the verb in the
subjunctive mood, present tense, is conjugated in the same manner as it
is in the indicative, with this exception, _if, though, unless_, or some
other conjunction, is prefixed; as,
_Indicative form_.
