Thank-you for you Julieta. I start each day with Think In Italian, and a coffee. I understand your caveat about potential confusion but it's a topic I've studied over time, including an on-line course from Wellesley College that covered all the other moods. But, I stayed focused on the Congiuntivo Presente. Look for an email I just sent to Stefano about a list of triggers (18) I created to identify when the conguntivo is used. I can send to you if you want to share your email.

I like this Realization Principle.
"The indicative expresses an actual realization of a verb; instead the subjunctive expresses the hypothetical or abstract possibility of realization.
While there's no magical formula, the beautiful thing about the Italian subjunctive is that it follows the Realization Principle to a remarkably high degree of accuracy." (Washington.edu)

Ciao Donald!
It's nice that you're doing a list of uses. It may come in handy.
The image you just attached it's just on point!
Happy? Leave me a review! 😀

Ciao Donald!
"Accorgere" can be used as a reflexive verb (accorgersi), that's why the "se" in sentence #30.
It would be "che lui si accorga" but we have the "ne" (referring to the Fabebook add) so we need to do the concordance.
Let us know if you understood or if you need more examples.
Happy? Leave me a review! 😀
