+To the Teacher+.--Let the pupils prefix _do_ and _did_ to the simple present _see_, and thus make the _emphatic form_ of the present and the past tense.
Let _can_ and _must_ be used in place of _may_; and _could_, _would_, and _should_, in place of _might_.
Require the pupils to tell how each tense is formed, and to note all changes for agreement in number and person.
A majority of modern writers use the _indicative_ forms instead of the _subjunctive_, in all of the tenses, unless it may be the _present_. The _subjunctive_ forms of the verb _to be_ are retained in the present and the past tense. Let the pupils understand that the mode and tense forms do not always correspond with the actual meaning. _The s.h.i.+p sails next week. I may go to-morrow_. The verbs _sails_ and _may go_ are _present_ in form but _future_ in meaning. _If it rains by noon, he may not come_. The verb _rains_ is _indicative_ in form but _subjunctive_ in meaning.
The plural forms, _You saw, You were_, etc., are used in the _singular_ also.
