The Subjunctive

The subjective case
The following English personal pronouns were listed in Chapter 1. They are usually referred to as indicated below:

	Singular	Plural
First Person	I	we
Second Person	you	you
Third Person	he, she, it	they

Thus, I is referred to as the first person singular; we is referred to as the first person plural; you is referred to as the second person; he, she and it are referred to as the third person singular; and they is referred to as the third person plural.

These pronouns are said to be in the subjective case, because they can each be used as the subject of a verb. In the following examples, the personal pronouns in the subjective case are underlined.
e.g. I am ready.
He is fortunate.
She is a teacher.
It is raining.
We are coming.
You are right.
They are determined.
