I have a test in Latin tommorow, and I'm having troubles with konjunctives (I don't know how do you spell that). Can anyone explain them to me and make it easier for me to translate them? Maybe some exercises (sentences etc,) Please, it's urgent!!!

so, it's coniuctivus what I'm talking about. I think we've done all of them, but the one which shows permission or something like that. We've done all the tenses, both active and pasive, and imperative too, and deponent and semi - deponent verbs. Now can you help?

I checked to see if you were a German speaker, (which you don't seem to be) as Konjunktiv in German means subjunctive and it is quite understandable that a person would have problems there. In case that is the positition, here are a couple of links:

You mean conjugations? What level are you? Are you up to deponent and semi-deponent ? Imperitive? Which tenses? Have you studied all the conjugations or is this only about a couple of them.
In others words...much as I would like to help, I simply don't know enough about your situation to be able to. Good luck.

i don't know did u mean conjunctive or coniuctivus it's a mood that expresses wishes,commands,emotion,possibility and statements that are opposite to the fact in present.
For ex. Let him do the dishes. He didn't do it but the action might happen in future.There is a lot to write on this so try to find it on your own try 'latin coniuctivus'

I think you mean conjunctions. If so, here are a few:
ac - and
at - but
atque - and, and also, moreover
aut - or
et - and
nec non - and besides
sed - but
vel - or
Pairs of conjunctions
atque ... atque - both ... and
aut ... aut - either ... or
et ... et - both ... and
nec ... et - not only ... but also
nec ... nec - neither ... nor
Subordinating Conjunctions
antequam - before
*** - when, whenever, since, because
dum - while, if only, so long as, until
si - if
usque - until
ut - while, as
