Help the exhausted head chef complete their post-service diary entry by selecting the correct subjunctive phrases.
"If the food critic decides to give us a terrible review over the flaming crepe disaster, then _________________________—we probably earned it. Looking back at the evening, ____________________________ that we will never again attempt to serve experimental durian soup in an unventilated dining room. And honestly, ___________________________ anyone actually orders the 'Mystery Meat Surprise' tomorrow, because I have absolutely no idea what the sous-chef put in it."
The correct answers are so be it, suffice it to say, and heaven forbid.
These are fossilized expressions in English that use the present subjunctive (the base form of the verb) rather than standard subject-verb agreement.
So be it means "I accept this outcome, even if it's negative." (Not so it is).
Suffice it to say means "it is enough to say." Because it's subjunctive, we use suffice rather than the indicative suffices, even though "it" is a singular third-person subject!
Heaven forbid is used to express a strong hope that something does not happen. Again, we use the base verb forbid, not forbids.
