1. You made last year so special for me. It is my greatest wish that this coming year be special for you.

Why is 'be' used in the last sentence? Can't we use 'will be' instead of 'be'?
Answered by Writeacher
In that clause that begins with "that" the verb needs to be in the subjunctive. That's why it's "be" instead of "will be." It's a wish, not a reality ... not even a future reality.
