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.

Theu,
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.
They requested that she arrive early. Formal
I wish you were here. Padrão
Bons estudos!
