The rainy season would finish soon if it were a normal year.
(paraphrase) The rainy season would finish soon in a normal year.
The rainy season would be finished soon in a normal year.
Are any of these sentences an example of subjunctive?
How can I use 'would' without 'if' in a subjunctive sentence? |
