4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. The Italian Subjunctive By William J. Benedek I am compelled to offer a comment on this book. It stands alone with its detailed and comprehensive treatment of a difficult grammatical subject, the subjunctive. Its proper usage presents difficulties even for native speakers, and foreigners find it even more difficult to learn, and use it correctly.It is a credit to the authors of the book that they could go into details with the explanation of the subjunctive with examples which truly elucidate the correct grammatical usage. Most Italian grammar books I have purchased try to satisfy the needs of Italian language students through reproducing the conjugation of the verbs in their subjunctive tenses, and hope a brief description of the use and a few examples would suffice. I tried them. This book may not be fully exhaustive of the subject, but it raises the treatment of the subjunctive by several levels higher than other books you find in English. I read it from cover to cover, and it will serve me as a valuable source for learning until I can fully master it. The books certainly deserves five stars.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Not as good as I had hoped for a resource on "il congiuntivo". By Sono Americano ma non e' colpa mia While there are some worthwhile aspects to the text, I have read shorter presentations on this subject with greater elucidation on the subjunctive (il congiuntivo) that do not leave me so soon with a high insecurity quotient as this book has as to whether an author is correct in his presentation of the usage and interpretation of a subject matter. When my insecurity quotient is elevated, as it is with this text, I hesitate using the resource, as I do with this book. I have bought it but will likely not ever use it again.The matter of the first example on page 7, with the following "Penso che tu non hai sbagliato," for which the interpretation in the text is "I am convinced you are not mistaken," which is then followed with a 2nd example, "Penso che tu non abbia sbagliato," for which the interpretation in the text is "I guess you are not mistaken," uses the first person singular indicative of pensare in both examples, i.e., "penso".The proposition is made, possibly correctly, by the author that the use of the passato prossimo (hai sbagliato) in the first example, drives the interpretation that "penso" is expressing conviction; whereas, in the second example, abbia sbagliato, drives the interpretation that "penso" is expressing some doubt. I'm not so much trying to determine if the use of the subjunctive in a subordinate clause gives the meaning to the verb in the main clause as expressing conviction or not. I'm trying to take the use of the expression in the main clause to determine whether to use the subjunctive or not in a dependent clause. And by starting the text with an example where "convincere" would have served better in the first example, wouldn't have forced a digression into whether the author has an error in the book so soon.So, "penso" as meaning conviction, without doubt; or "penso" as meaning there is some doubt, i.e., there is no conviction, forces the question onto whether the author is accurately using the verb "pensare" as a verb expressing conviction. So, what I'm saying, if you will, is that if the author would have first presented some grammatical authority or explanation that a common interpretation of "pensare" is "to be convinced", and then, after laying that foundation that one translation of the verb "pensare" is the same as "convincere", I could have accepted his use of the passato prossimo (hai sbagliato) in his first example, whereas, from the very beginning with his use of "penso" in the first example, it appeared to me the subjunctive "abbia sbagliato" was required.As it was, as it is, I cannot find any authority (yet) that "pensare" can also mean "to be convinced". Perhaps it can. But, this is where the author, in my view, has not that clarity of usage in his examples to keep me from worrying if he is explaining things well enough that I can use what he has to say without fear, with full confidence, I am relying on something that is accurate.
