Gulliver's Travels: Verbs and Adjectives of Urgency, Subjunctive

By May 31, 2013 Edit

This version of one of my favorite stories is great. I used this funny scene to talk about verbs/adjectives of urgency.


A. The subjunctive form of a verb is used following verbs or adjectives of urgency, obligation or advisability. Write the words below under the correct column.


Demand - Critical - Insist - Crucial - Propose - Desirable - Request - Essential - Recommend - Important - Suggest - Necessary - Imperative






VERBS / ADJECTIVES

Ex: Demand / Critical


REMEMBER:



Verbs and adjectives that don't express urgency, obligation or advisability don't need the subjunctive


B. Now watch the movie segment and choose the correct alternative for the items below. Make sure you decide whether you will use affirmative or negative form according to the information presented in the movie segment.
