Subjunctive Mood: Formal ou não?
Hello guys
I have already learned about the Subjunctive Mood in English. But I've never seen an American using this mood so strictly. So I want to know: Is the Subjunctive Mood considered formal language or not?
Please guys, help me.

Nem sempre. Em alguns casos é formal, em outros não.
In modern American English, the Simple Present Subjunctive is still used in clauses beginning with the word that which express formal commands or requests.

I wish you were here. Padrão
Bons estudos!

@Donay Mendonça, como faz pra usar de forma informal o presente do subjuntivo no INGLÊS NORTE-AMERICANO? Ouvi as pessoas dizerem que eles não usam o "should" por lá como usam no inglês britânico.
