Mr. Esam,
I greatly appreciate your efforts and thanks a lot for all that you've offered on this site. May I ask you about sentence number 3 in the multiple choice question in the third year exam?
Wouldn't it be the first answer (a) be?
- Mona promised that she be home tomrrow.
Can't it be a subjunctive sentence?
Could you please clarify that in detail if it can or can't be?
Thanks a lot
