About This Resource
This C1 resource examines subjunctive and mandative structures used with directives, recommendations, necessity, importance, hypotheticals, and formal mood choices. It develops control of mandative triggers and related non-indicative meanings so that learners select forms according to the function of the clause rather than a memorized keyword list.
What You’ll Learn
• Recognize mandative clauses triggered by demands, recommendations, necessity, and importance.
• Use appropriate mandative forms after verbs, adjectives, and nouns that license them.
• Distinguish mandative meaning from hypothetical remoteness and other non-indicative uses.
• Choose mood structures according to meaning, register, and grammatical context.
