When do we use the subjunctive tense in reported speech?

The subjunctive tense is used in reported speech when we want to express something that is not a fact or is uncertain, hypothetical, or contrary to reality. It is commonly used after verbs such as "suggest," "recommend," "insist," "demand," "order," "request," and "wish." The subjunctive tense helps to convey the speaker's attitude or opinion towards the reported statement or action.
