A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In French theS ubjunctive is the favorite mood for the expression of uncertainty. It is found chiefly in subordinate clauses, and especially when such clauses follow a principal verb taken negatively or interrogatively. Recommendations. Beyond this general remark, whose necessary vagueness renders it of little value, no a priori reasoning about the nature of the French subjunctive mood is to be expected in this book. Such reasoning not only leads to disappointment in teaching the use of this mood, but it becomes almost ridiculous when one notices the widely varying purposes subserved by the subjunctive form even in modern French. The writers aim, then, will be to present to the learner the facts about the French subjunctive mood as it is to-day. This will be done by means of examples taken from contemporary authors, and if quotations from works earlier than the nineteenth century appear, they must be understood as confirming present usage, not as exemplifying that of former times. The student, once in possession of the facts, will draw his own inferences as to the function or functions of the mood.
