The difference between the present and aorist subjunctive is one of aspect rather than of time. It exists in three tenses only: the present, the aorist, and the perfect. The subjunctive almost always has the letters ω ( ō) or η ( ē) in the ending, for example εἴπωμεν ( eípōmen), γένηται ( génētai). The subjunctive is still used today in Modern Greek, whereas the optative has died out. For this area of meaning the imperfect and aorist indicative tenses are used in Ancient Greek. "it would be happening (but isn't)", "it would have happened (but didn't)", "I should have done it (but didn't)" etc.).

The subjunctive mood (Greek ὑποτακτική ( hupotaktikḗ) "for arranging underneath", from ὑποτάσσω ( hupotássō) "I arrange beneath") along with the indicative, optative, and imperative, is one of the four moods of the Ancient Greek verb.
