    Grammar lesson for Thursday, July 17, 2008.

    Past subjunctive tense:

    Past subjunctive tense is used to express a hypothetical:

    If Hakeem Olajuwon were still a Rocket...

    Or to express regret or longing:

    If only Hakeem Olajuwon were still a Rocket...
    I wish Hakeem Olajuwon were still a Rocket...

    The past subjunctive form of the verb be in English is were.

    Example: If Obama were a Jew...
    Incorrect: If Obama was a Jew...

    Note: The colloquial use of the simple past tense form is widespread, and often not considered incorrect in spoken English.

    I definitely wouldn't vote for him if he were a Jew. Then, he would be bending over for Israel all the time. I'm not sure how that is any different than how we bend over for them today. But, it would somehow legitimize it...and think of the Arab reaction. The Jewish lobby is already powerful enough...without having a Jew in the top position.

    That is so French. Are you from France or something?

    I have spent the last fifteen minutes looking for the past subjunctive tense for 'to give' and came up empty. I had troubles finding the past subjunctive tense for 'to be'. FTW.
