Subjunctive usage

by harshas121 Fri Aug 15, 2014 8:32 am

If the new department store would open by Thanksgiving, it will be attracting many holiday shoppers.


would open by Thanksgiving, it will be attracting

would be opened by Thanksgiving, it would be able to attract

was opening by Thanksgiving, it would be able to attract

was to open by Thanksgiving, it also will attract

opens before Thanksgiving, it will attract

Do all 'if.. " come under subjunctive. Is the above "if" usage subjunctive. If it is, then open shud come in place of subjunctive. Please clarify the usage of subjunctive once.
