 ==== The Subjunctive ====
+The subjunctive expresses an imagined, possible, or desired action in the past, present, or future. Its time depends on the tense of the main verb. It is used, almost exclusively in subordinate clauses, to express the speaker's opinion or judgment, such as doubts, possibilities, emotions, and events that may or may not occur. It is almost always introduced with the conjunction ''ʔašir''.
+'''Uses'''
+*'''''kī'' causal clauses''': These are clauses introduced by the conjunction ''kī''. There are many types of these clauses, causal and circumstantial being the most common. A causal clause shows purpose. Often, these are infinitives in English.
+= "He built the city so that he would rule"
+*'''''kī'' circumstantial clauses''': This type of clause offers a description of events at the time of the main verb. These differ from normal temporal clauses (indicated by an infinitive typically) since circumstantial clauses offer more than time-related information about the action of the main clause.
+= "When Pompeii was destroyed, many people fled on boats"
