Re: Subjunctive GMAT

The Graduate Management Admission Test GMATis a computer adaptive test (CAT) intended to assess certain analytical, writing, quantitative, verbal, and reading skills in written English for use in admission to a graduate management program, such as an MBA


the Subjunctive Topics of the GMAT Exam is given below


Bare Verb Form and Subjunctive

The bare form of the verb is essentially the infinitive (e.g. to run) without the ‘to’ attached (e.g. run). We learned earlier that the bare verb form is used with the “command subjunctive:”

Example: My boss requires that you be at work by 6 a.m.

Notice that the bare form is the same as the imperative mood (e.g. Be at work by 6 a.m.).

The command subjunctive always follows this form:

Commanding verb–THAT—subject—command subjunctive

My boss requires THAT you be at work by 6 a.m.

Here are a few incorrect subjunctive constructions often used by the GMAT to trick you:

Incorrect: My boss requires you be at work by 6 a.m.

Incorrect: My boss requires that you are at work by 6 a.m.

Incorrect: My boss requires that you will be at work by 6 a.m.



Command Subjunctive Only: I demand that you be at work by 6 a.m.


Infinitive Only: I advise you to be at work by 6 a.m.


Either/Or: 1. I require that you be at work by 6 a.m.
2. I require you to be at work by 6 a.m.

Other Forms: Nouns


The command subjunctive can also be used with nouns derived from verbs above.

Example: The boss’s request that you be here by 6 a.m. was not fulfilled.


Other Forms: Adjectives

In the same way that the command subjunctive can be used with derivative nouns, it can also be used with derivative adjectives (e.g. mandatory) and other adjectives (e.g. imperative) in the form “It is adjective that…”

Example: It is imperative that you be here by 6 a.m.
