Frustrations in Teaching - II

[dcseain]

Following up on this post, i have a poll on use of the subjunctive in Modern English. I've read all your comments on the last post, and am using them to compose the follow-up, and i belive, culminating post on this topic.

Oh, and i'd like to point out that not all of the following are valid, and some are only valid in limited contexts in some dialects, insofar as i am aware.

[Poll #1001250]

Assuming that was just a typo, I still wouldn't have picked it. I only found one correct response up there.


I'm just picky.

Hmmm? What's wrong with them?

My usage would be "If I was do it...". I'm probably wrong.

That is what i expected, based on where you learned to speak. I will address that in one of the follow-up posts.
