【正文】 rE: I have just arrived home. I have already done my homework. AmE: I just arrived home. I already did my homework. Dissimilarities in Subjunctive Mood In American usage, the root form of the verb often appears in the subjunctive mood, while British English usually use “should + root form of the verb”. These ways are always reflected in the object clause after those verbs like “to suggest, to insist, to require, to demand, to remend, to order”. It also can be used in “thatclause” with those adjectives like “important, necessary, essential, vital, significant…” (it is + adjectives + that… ). Examples are as follows: BrE: They suggested that all the animals should set free at the moment. AmE: They suggested that all the animals set free at the moment. BrE: It is necessary that you should be present at the examination. AmE: It is necessary that you be present at the examination.

For example: BrE: Come to see the movie. AmE: Come and see the movie. 5.
