There is no way for us to discuss this subject without first emphasizing the importance of being aware of the facts that guide the language in general. Well, turn your attention a little to the verbal forms described so far. So far, we have come across a portion of them, mainly manifested by “discussing/emphasizing/being”. Such an occurrence only means that they are essential to the speech we make on a daily basis and, therefore, we need to make good use of them.
Making good use of these verb forms means using them properly, considering that the particularities involved in this grammatical class (verbs) are somewhat complex. Take, for example, number inflections and verbal people. Thus, the existing linguistic marks between “I can and we can / I brought and we brought” and so on, become evident. In other words, for each grammatical person we have to assign the verbal form that best corresponds to him.
In this way, let us observe this last sentence, expressed as “which best suits you”. Correspond to who? Obviously it's her, that is, the form. Why don't we use “corresponds”? Simple, because it is a time demarcated by the present in a subjunctive way. Speaking of it (in the subjunctive mode) and, above all, because it presents itself as a mode that sometimes presents as the target of some questions, this article aims to present the ways that the replace. So, let's look at some of them:
* Use of infinitive:
the teacher asks that there is silence.
the teacher asks to be silence.
* Gerund, especially demarcated in conditional clauses:
if you believed in me you would not have come.
believing in me you would not have come.
* Use of an abstract noun:
If you had presented, you would have good acceptance.
your presentation would be well accepted.
* By means of an elliptical construction (understood term):
Whether it's me, whether it's you or him, someone will have to attend the hearing.
(be) I, (be) you or (be) him, someone will have to attend the hearing*.
* The term (ie) is demarcated as a better finding, but in fact it should only be understood.
