The Subjunctive mood in subordinate clauses introduced by the conjunction "that" in the meaning of "чтобы"

The Subjunctive mood can be used in the four types of subordinate clauses, introduced by the conjunction that in the meaning of чтобы. These are:

• Object clauses:

  Директор приказывает, чтобы все приняли участие в этой работе.
  Director orders that everybody should take part in this work.

• Subject clauses:

  Необходимо, чтобы вы помогли ему.
  It is necessary that you should help him.

• Predicative clauses:

  План состоял в том, чтобы он присоединился к нам в Швейцарии.
  The plan was that he should join us in Switzerland.

• Attributive clauses:

  Идея о том, чтобы он присоединился к нам в Швейцарии была разумна.
  The idea that he should join us in Switzerland was reasonable.

  The Analytical Subjunctive with mood auxiliary should is used here.

  Note: In American English the Present Subjunctive is used.

  Она настояла на том, чтобы они выпили за ее здоровье.
  She insisted that they drink to her health.
