To solve this worksheet, we need to find the correct verb form for each sentence based on the rules of the
Present Subjunctive mood.
Here is the step-by-step logic for each question:
1.
"I hope / hoped / hoping there will not be any traffic."
* The phrase "there will not be" indicates the future. We are talking about a current wish. Therefore, we use the present tense verb
hope. ("Hoped" is past tense, and "hoping" needs a helping verb like "am").
2.
"My parents only ask that we not wake / woke / waking them up."
* The word "ask" triggers the subjunctive mood. In the negative subjunctive, we use "not" + the
base form of the verb (the infinitive without "to"). The base form is
wake.
3.
"The woman requested that we stop / stopped / stopped kicking her seat."
* *Note: The image lists "stopped" twice, but one is likely meant to be "stop".*
* The word "requested" triggers the subjunctive. Even though "requested" is in the past, the subjunctive rule requires the
base form of the verb in the "that" clause. The base form is
stop.
4.
"Paula suggested that we go / went / going see a movie."
* The word "suggested" triggers the subjunctive. We must use the
base form of the verb. The base form is
go.
5.
"I prefer we staying / stayed / stay home, but he wants to go out."
* The word "prefer" triggers the subjunctive here. We need the
base form of the verb. The base form is
stay.
6.
"The teacher insisted / insists / insisting that we do our warm-up."
* The clause "that we do" uses the base form "do," which signals the subjunctive mood. The main verb needs to agree with the singular subject "The teacher." Between "insisted" (past) and "insists" (present),
insists is the standard present tense form that fits with the general statement structure often found in these exercises. It means the teacher currently demands it.
7.
"Hannah always begs to is / be / was included, but she's too little."
* After the word "to" (infinitive form), we always use the
base form of the verb. The base form is
be.
8.
"I wish we would got / get / getting a dog."
* After the helper verb "would," we always use the
base form of the verb. The base form is
get.
9.
"I doubt you dare walked / walks / walk along the railroad tracks."
* The subject is "you." In the present tense, the verb for "you" does not take an 's'. Also, after "dare," we typically use the base form. The correct form is
walk.
10.
"I urge you all to applied / apply / applies to several colleges."
* After the word "to" (infinitive form), we always use the
base form of the verb. The base form is
apply.
