Subjunctive I represents the action as problematic, but not contradicting reality. It's used to express suggestion, necessity, advice, supposition, etc.

Subjunctive I is seldom used in modern English. It is mostly used in the language of official documents and high prose and the American variant of English. It is used in different types of clauses: subject clauses, object clauses, adverbial clauses etc.

In English this mood is rendered by the form of Subjunctive II, which is also the past form of any verb. Ex. Oh, if only it were summer! I wish we had time. It's time we knew everything. Subjunctive II represents the action as unreal, as contrary to reality. Morphologically it has two forms: "non-perfect" (Subjunctive II present) and "perfect" (Subjunctive II past). Subjunctive II present Subjunctive II past (non-perfect) (perfect) I did I had done He were He had been We went We had gone You had You had had

The perfect form of Subjunctive II is used to express priority of actions which were not fulfilled and are only to be regretted. Ex. If only I had not missed the chance. (Если бы я только не упустил ту возможность.) THE USE OF SUBJUNCTIVE II It may be used independently of other clauses to express: a) advice: She had better go there at once. (Ей лучше пойти туда сразу.) b) preference: I would rather stay home. (Я бы лучше осталась дома.) I would sooner have some sandwiches. (Я бы лучше съела несколько бутербродов.) Would you rather have tea or coffee? (Вы предпочитаете чай или кофе?) с) wish in if-clauses: If only I could see the picture again! (Если бы я только могла увидеть эту картину снова!)
