Emily wants to go swimming.
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

If it were warmer outside, Emily would go swimming.

Explanation:

Were is the present subjunctive third person singular form of the verb to be. Although the subjunctive mood is not used as much in modern English as it was in the past, examples can still be found where it is utilized.

The subjunctive mood is used to express wishes or desires that do not reflect the current state of things and instead transmit an alternative possibility or condition.

Between a mother and the school principal about her child's disregard for studies
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

"Hello I am Student's mother,” said the mom. “Is there anything I can do to make Student want to study more?”

“Yes,” said the principal. “You can motivate student with prizes and rewards, such as more screen time, an extra dessert, etc.”

“What if this doesn’t work?” asks the mom.

“Well, then I can have the teachers motivate your child to work harder,” suggested the principal.

“Ok, I will do my best to do my part, and you can do your best to do your part,” the mom suggested hopefully.

“I am a very busy person, but I will see what I can do about this situation with Student,” assured the principal.

“Thank you so much!” exclaimed the mom. “This was very helpful and will most likely work on my child.”

“No problem,” replied the principal. “If you need help in the future you can just ask me.”

“I most certainly will,” said the mom.
