SECTION LXXIV. USE OP THE SUBJUNCTIVE (continued). 



1. The verbs croire, to believe; dire, to say ; esperer, to hope; 

 gager and parier, to bet ; penser, to think ; sentir, to feel ; voir, 

 to see ; and others expressing affirmation or something certain 

 and positive, are, when conjugated affirmatively, followed by 

 the indicative present or future [ 123] : 



Je pense, je crois, je dis qu'il I think, I believe, I say that he will 

 viendra. come. 



2. The above verbs, when used in the same connection and 

 conjugated negatively or interrogatively, are followed by * 

 either the indicative or the subjunctive [ 123 (2)] : 



Je ne crois pas qu'il vienne, or J do not believe he will come. 

 qu'il viendra. 



3. A verb, preceded by another verb and by a relative pro- 

 noun, is put in the subjunctive when there is an idea of un- 

 certainty, and in the indicative when there is certainty [ 123 

 (2)] :- 



J'ai un homme qui me rendra ser- I have a man who mil oblige me. 



vice. 



J'ai besoin d'uu homme qui me J wont o man who will (may) oblige 



rende service. me. 



4. A verb, preceded by a superlative, relative, or by the 

 words, le seul, le premier, le dernier, is put in the subjunctive 

 [ 123 (6)] :- 



Voila le seul chapeau que j'aie. T?iat is the only hat I have. 

 Voila le meilleur homme que je There is the best man I know. 

 connaisse. 



* The student should bear in mind that the subjunctive is essentially 

 the mood of doubt. Its use is not absolutely a matter of grammar, and 

 in the case mentioned in No. 2 above, it would be employed if the 

 speaker had a doubt to express, while he would use the indicative mood 

 if he had not.
