Besides, the past subjunctive often relates to a 'wish'.
Also, clauses introduced by 'as if' and 'if'.

E.g. If Ola tried more, Odunnu would be his wife.


Ferdiii wouldn't be so confident about Odunnu if he were Ola.


We are used to some forms of verb in the subjunctive.

E.g. If only this had been a thorough process, . . . . . .

When a statement/sentence is connected by two clauses, and:
1. One states a CONDITION
2. The other a RESULT.

^^ . . . . . . .Na Mr subjunctive e must be

Ola, I enjoy ur infintives and its subs.

2.The result or admission list is in.

ferdiii:

Please Ola & Slap1, which one is correct?:1.The result or admission list is out.
2.The result or admission list is in.

Hmmmmmmmm.

I can only say:

The results are out (this normally relates to students - when it is available to view by students).

The result is in (this normally relates to school authorities, news agencies and election bodies).

The result of an election is out when the general public can view it.

It is in when only the authorities have it (e.g. Jega is in possession of the result and informs reporters aout this development). Also, a live coverage by a news agency (i.e. they have it but not yet reeled out (or not yet in details) on their channel/page/wave e.t.c.). E.g. NTA: the result just in indicates that Ola has won.
