يَتَطَلَّبُ، يَخْشَى، يَرْجُو، يُرِيدُ + أَنْ put the next verb in the subjunctive, alongside both conditional types and reported speech.

A real risk and a counterfactual.
| Verb | Mood | Example |
|---|---|---|
| يَتَطَلَّبُ أَنْ | requirement | أَنْ تَتَّخِذَ |
| يَخْشَى أَنْ | fear | أَنْ تَتَجَاوَزَ |
| يَرْجُو أَنْ | hope | أَنْ تُوَقِّعَ |
| يُرِيدُ أَنْ | desire | أَنْ يُقَلِّلَ |
يَتَطَلَّبُ الوَضْعُ أَنْ تَتَّخِذَ الحُكُومَاتُ إِجْرَاءَاتٍ (requires that governments take — تَتَّخِذَ, subjunctive). يَخْشَى العُلَمَاءُ أَنْ يَتَجَاوَزَ الاحْتِرَارُ حَدًّا خَطِيرًا. يَرْجُو المُجْتَمَعُ أَنْ تُوَقِّعَ الدُّوَلُ. The final fatḥa marks the subjunctive.
These verbs give you three motivated moods: requirement (يَتَطَلَّبُ أَنْ), fear (يَخْشَى أَنْ) and hope (يَرْجُو أَنْ). Each puts the following verb in the subjunctive, so the mood feels natural rather than technical.
