Question 10 • Common Core ELA 11 - ELA3011 CR

How can the sentence be rewritten so it is in the subjunctive mood?

Answer
A
I wish I were going to the movies with you this Friday.
B
Let’s go to the movies on Friday.
C
Do you want to go to the movies with me on Friday?

Explanation

The subjunctive mood is used to express a wish or a situation that is contrary to reality. In choice A, “I wish I were going” uses “were” to express a wish, so it is in the subjunctive mood. The other choices make a suggestion or ask a question instead.
