How do I make the subjunctive?

Root = no.6 present tense -ent
finissent = finiss boivent= boiv mangent- mang |
|
|
Then add the er ending for the present
|
tu finisses
tu boives il mange |
|

In the plural no 4 and 5 it looks like the imperfect
ions, iez |

vous finissiez |

Ils mangent
elle mangent ils finissent ils boivent |
