Where did you find this rule ?
"I owe him $1000" but after i have given him the money i'll say "I owed him $1000"
Premise: If you like my post
Conclusion : Press the Thanks Button ;)

He is talking about the bossy verb 'ruled' so it requires verb 'owe' in subjunctive mood.

Hi Mayank,

The verb "rule" does not require the use of subjunctive verb. "Rule" is not a "boosy verb". Hence, the use of simple past tense "owed" is absolutely correct here.

Hope this helps.

Can you please explain why 'rule' is not a bossy very or, how to distinguish bossy verbs?
