Present Subjunctive

Der Konjunktiv

Introduction

Einführung

The German subjunctive mood is one of the most difficult concepts for English speakers to learn. While English has a subjunctive mood, its grammatical formulations aren't quite as different from the indicative tenses.

You use the subjunctive for various reasons:

cases of desire
to express doubt
to make impersonal statements
to talk about impeding events

German also has a past subjunctive that describes past events in the same way as above.
