Subjunctive mood is used to express wishes and possibilities, whereas on the other hand, indicative mood is used for facts. So let's go through all of these sentences:
1. I would go for a walk if it weren't raining - this is subjunctive. The form <em>weren't </em>used as a possibility is indicative of subjunctive mood. This person <em>wishes </em>he could go for a walk, but cannot because it is raining
2. I wish you continued at your job - this is also subjunctive. The form <em>continued is </em>is indicative of subjunctive mood. This person <em>wishes </em>something happened, but it didn't.
3. Brett wants Molly and Trent to study with him. - this is indicative. It is a fact that this person wants, so this is not subjunctive.
4. Coach recommends that we run two laps around the track. - this is subjunctive. The coach <em>wishes </em>something would happen - he is going to make his students to what he wishes them to do.
With verbs such as recommend, wish, suggest, demand, etc., subjunctive mood is used.
