Q

What ways can you recognize that the subjunctive might be at play in a sentence?

A
  • Verb ends in -e instead of -t and the pronoun “ich” is not in context.
  • The verb is “sei; wäre; hätte; würde” in the clause or in a neighboring clause
  • There is a thinking/speaking verb or noun introducing the clause or prefacing it
  • There is an “if-clause” beginning with “wenn” or “wenn auch”
  • The sentence begins with a verb but is not a question.
