subjunctive mood
The subjunctive mood can sound rather stilted in modern usage and many people either ignore it,
perhaps being ignorant of its true use, or else choose to avoid it.
🎈For example:
▶️I insist that he
apologizes immediately
instead of
▶️I insist that he
apologize immediately
is considered quite acceptable, especially in all but the most formal contexts.
