modals again

[hela]

Dear TDOL,

1) What I want to know in fact is if the expression "to be scared that" needs a subjuntive mood like "to demand that, to request that, to insist that, to suggest that, to recommend that ..."

2) Yes I was just going to correct my mistake.
"that" = subordinating conjunction?
"But" = coordinating conjunction?

Thank you for your help.

Dear TDOL,

What is the difference between a conjunction and a conjunct?

Best regards,

The expression "be scared" does not take the subjunctive, but it often takes a modal verb.

I was scared/afraid that he might/would/could....

That is not a passive verb, but a verb + adjective. It is different from: It was demanded that he leave. :wink:

I don't use the word "conjunct" for grammar, but I would assume it is one of two things conjoined by a conjunction. :wink:
