Als Ob/Als Wenn

Question 1

Als Ob, Als Wenn:

Answer 1

The conjunctionsals wennandals obare interchangeable; they both mean “as if” or “as though.” Both introduce a dependent clause, so the conjugated verb must go to the end. In addition, both require the subjunctive II.

Als obich das nicht wüßte! As if I didn’t know that!

Er tut,als wenner nichts Besseres zu tun hätte. He acts as though he had nothing better to do.
