listener\u2019s question who wants to bring their grammar to a higher level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lindsay reminds the listeners that the All Ears English motto is \u201cConnection NOT Perfection,\u201d but that doesn&#8217;t mean that you should ignore grammar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aubrey agrees with this and mentions that grammar matters especially in the business world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In today\u2019s episode, Lindsay and Aubrey talk about the subjunctive and how important it is to use it correctly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aubrey shares that native English speakers often use subjunctives incorrectly especially in informal conversations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is okay, but in work, you may sound unprofessional if you don\u2019t speak with correct grammar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a question from Asako who is asking for help from the All Ears English team on proper grammar: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><em>My name is Asako. <\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong><em>I wanted to brush up my grammar use and I came across these 2 sentences. <\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong><em>1) She acts as if she were the queen. <\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong><em>2) She talks to me as if she is my mother. <\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong><em>I perfectly understand why the first sentence uses past tense &#8220;were&#8221;, as in &#8220;she were the queen.&#8221; <\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong><em>But I don&#8217;t get why the second sentence uses present tense &#8220;is&#8221;, as in &#8220;she is my mother.&#8221; <\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong><em>It would be really helpful if you could help me on this. <\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong><em>Thank you in advance!! <\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tricky Grammar Mistakes <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Aubrey says that the second sentence mentioned by Asako in her question is grammatically incorrect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sentence is a subjunctive mood so the correct way is: \u201cShe talks to me as if she were my mother.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may hear native English speakers say it incorrectly because it is tricky to notice when to use the subjunctive mood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is accepted in an informal setting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can actually read it in some books, hear it in songs, on TV, movies and so much English media out there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aubrey shares that she was watching TV and she heard someone say \u201cIt would hurt even more if it was you.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The correct way to say it is \u201cIt would hurt even more if it were you.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also points out some words in songs like: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If I was a rich girl\u2026 (Gwen Stefani) <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If I was the man\u2026 (Taylor Swift) <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>I\u2019m down on bended knees\u2026 (Boyz 2 Men) <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In these songs, they used the subjunctive wrong intentionally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lindsay shares that she made mistakes in using subjunctives before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When she became an English teacher, she learned and corrected her grammar mistakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sign Post Words: If and Wish <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Aubrey encourages listeners to go back to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/subjunctive-advanced-grammar-point\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">All Ears English Episode 1062: We Recommend That You Try This Advanced Grammar Point.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode, Lindsay and Michelle give you a deep dive on how to use the subjunctive when you\u2019re talking about urgency, power, importance or suggestion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are signpost words that you can take note of that will remind you how to properly use the subjunctive mood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Example of signpost words are \u201cif\u201d and \u201cwish.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversations regarding hypotheticals would often use the words \u201cif\u201d and \u201cwish.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you see these words, they require the subjunctive mood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote

class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Correct:<\/strong> \u201cIf I <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>were<\/em><\/span><\/strong> a

the correct word to use is \u201cwere.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aubrey shares that if she were a millionaire, she would donate some of her money to those who really need it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lindsay says that if she were a millionaire she would travel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the Covid pandemic there were a lot of places she didn\u2019t get to see. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\"

use the subjunctive wrong, you don\u2019t need to correct them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They may be doing it intentionally, or they may not know they\u2019re using it wrong because majority says it that way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/interview-with-fortune-50-business-consultant-melanie-parish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">business
