See explanation.
Explanation:
There are many English verbs used in subjunctive mood. This type of sentences is used to tell about imaginary situations or wishes.
Examples:
-
If I won in a lottery, I would buy a house.
-
If I were you, I would not do it.
In some situations subjunctive mood is used to express offers or kind requests.
-
Would you like tea or coffee?
-
Would you mind opening the door?
Note: Subjunctive form is not a tense, it is one of the verb moods.
