Present subjunctive after 'until'?
I consulted https://english.stackexchange.com/a/7823/50720, but when is the present subjunctive (call this PS) used after 'until'? Only in the past?
Am I right in guessing that do here is conjugated in the PS?
1. Till death do us part. => Until death do + part us => Until death do (instead of does) part us.
Top Answer/Comment:
The present subjunctive was formerly used in clauses beginning with 'until'. It is not so used in modern English. The auxiliary verb 'do' was formerly not uncommon in non-emphatic affirmative present and past simple firms, indicative and subjunctive. It is not so used in modern English.
