vow!! learned something new. Thx "techwiz"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjunctive

You don't have to read the whole thing, just the chart that talks about present/past subjunctive/indicative is an eye opener. Didn't know this at all (although we use this commonly in spoken language, when you are looking for errors, it is easy to consider them as errors)
