The difference between subjunctive mood and second conditional Could anybody explain to me the difference between these two? For example, I found this sentence online: "If he were rich, he'd buy ten yachts". It says this is "subjunctive mood" but I don't see why it couldn't also be second conditional. Thanks in advance!

Could somebody explain this English grammar please One of my Japanese friends wrote a diary entry (not on iTalki) and received a correction from a native speaker. In the following sentence, the word "would" was originally "will" but the native speaker of English said "will" is correct without providing an explanation. If somebody could explain why WILL is correct, I would really appreciate it. "He just said some time ago that it's not urgent and he could wait until spring, when his company's periodical personnel changes WOULD be announced, requiring him to ask us to update their accounts anyway."

Need help with an English sentence Please look at the following sentence: "It is essential that the merchandise be delivered to the client by the time their plant opens for business." My Japanese friend asked me what is the reason for "be delivered" instead of just for example "... that the merchandise is delivered..." etc. I said it's just for emphasis but maybe I'm wrong. Could somebody please explain it? Thank you!

Need some help with word order Is there something wrong with word order in the following sentence? "I guess that our seats were allocated separately automatically." Should I say "automatically allocated separately" or "separately allocated automatically"... or is there any other way? In my head, the original sentence sounds natural, but I was told it was wrong. Thanks in advance!

Why is ということで used in this sentence? The other day, a saw a Youtube video where the guy said this sentence: 冬はね、風邪ひきやすいということで、マスクする人凄い増えると思うんですよ。 I suppose this means "because it's easy to catch a cold during the winter, a lot of people wear a mask". What would be different if I said なので instead of ということで in this case?

I need a little help understanding the end of this paragraph 警察の資料によると、日本国内の行方不明者は毎年約１０万人にのぼる それも捜索願が出されているケースに限られており、出されていないケースを含めると年間の行方不明者は２０万人を超えるという Can you please explain to me why is there という at the end? What is it suppose to mean in this case? Is it short for ということです ? I know that という can have many different meanings depending on the context and its place in a sentence - but I am confused when I hear it AT THE end of a sentence (like in the paragraph above) - because there isn't anyone who "says" it - like a person etc. - and also there is nothing after it. Thanks in advance!

Please help me to express something in English The other day, a Japanese person who is taking English lessons online, told me that her lessons have become "lessons" too much. What she means by this is that the lessons have become remote from life... It feels like a classroom. She doesn't get to speak freely, but rather just answer some questions that the teacher asks her and learn grammar. So she asked me what is the best way to express this and I feel like I couldn't help her adequately. I told her she can say the lessons have become too "schoolish", but I feel like this is not the best way to say it. So can you please tell me if there is a word to express this? Thanks in advance! (For those of you who speak Japanese, she said something along the lines of レッスンはレッスンらしくなってきた。It makes sense in Japanese but I'm not sure how to translate it).
