Excerpt from The Academic French Course, in Accordance With the Latest Grammatical Rules Adopted, by the French Academy The subjunctive mood always implies an element of nu certainty or doubt in the mind Of the speaker or writer. A verb in the subjunctive never makes a positive assertion. It is always dependent on some other verb which does make the positive statement. Therefore it cannot exist in the principal clause of a sentence? It follows, then, that only in a secondary or dependent clause can a verb stand in the subjunctive mood: therefore the sub junctive is always introduced in French either by a conjunction or by a relative pronoun.
