Synonyms of "Ne" and their differences

Q: Qual é a diferença entre i ne hungry e i am hungry ?
A: The verb tense that is used in the phrase, I am hungry is called the present indicative tense. This verb tense is used to state facts and to give opinions.
I am twenty years old.
I like pizza.
Water boils at 212 degrees F.
The price of gasoline rises by the week.

The verb mood that is used in the phrase, I be hungry is called the present subjunctive mood. This mood of verb is used most often within complex sentences that have two clauses. In one clause, the verb is most often conjugated in the present indicative and the second clause has a verb that is conjugated in the present subjunctive mood. These sentences tend to express wishes, longings, requirements, doubts, hopes, and so on. These sentences also most often use the words, that and if, to join these two clauses. With regular verbs (weak verbs), the conjugation of the present subjunctive looks the same as the present indicative, except for the third person singular conjugation, which does NOT take the letter, s. Irregular verbs (strong verbs), use their infinitive form to form the present subjunctive mood.
Here are some examples of the use of the present subjunctive mood in English:
It is important that a dentist examine this tooth. (See, no letter, s, on the verb, examine.)
I plan to lower taxes, if I be president. (See, the verb, be, is used in its infinitive form because the verb, to be, is a strong verb in English.)
To sit for a seven-course meal, it is expected that I be hungry.
God be praised. (An example of the present subjective mood, without a second clause.)
If my time on Earth be through, I have no regrets.
