|
||||||
|
#### Present Equative

||||||
|
- A is B habitually, repeatedly, generally
|
||||||
|
- A tends to be B
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Subjunctive Equative
|
||||||
|
- One desires or wants A to be B
|
||||||
|
- A should/must be B (judgement)
|
||||||
|
- If/it's possible that A is B
|
||||||
|
- ...so that A is B (purpose)
|
||||||
|
