Să and thesubjunctive mood are inextricably associated. Any verb introduced bysă must take the subjunctive.

^The imperative-like subjunctivesă construction is distinguished from the proper imperative in that it refers to something that the addressee is to do later, when the time comes, when is the case or after a succession of steps. CompareSă te întorci repede!(“Come back quickly [after you leave]!”) withÎntoarce-te repede!(“Come back quickly [now]!”). Certain verbs, such asști(“know”), lack a true imperative and only use the subjunctive withsă.
^The formal way to form the future tense is to usevrea as an auxiliary verb with an infinitive.
^An exception to the rigid pairing ofsă with the subjunctive mood is found in the sense of “if, should”, where, until the 17th century, the indicative mood was employed. This usage is wholly obsolete.
