Syntax Rules 15. Ut and the Subjunctive.
Ut always takes the Subjunctive; si and nisi only when uncertainty is meant to be expressed.
Obs. — The Conjunctive is commonly called the Subjunctive when it occurs, as it usually does, in a subordinate sentence. The Subjunctive Mood never makes a positive statement like the Indicative, and is usually preceded by some Conjunction; as, si, if; nisi, unless; ut, that, in order that.
