German-Conditionals

In German, subjunctive forms are used much more frequently than in English, to express uncertainty, speculation or doubt. There are two ways of introducing indirect speech in German, as in English. The conjunction dass (meaning that) begins the clause containing the indirect speech and the verb goes to the end of the clause. If you want to express a possible situation in English, for example, I would be happy if you came, you use ‘if’ followed by the appropriate tense of the verb. In German you use the conjunction wenn followed by a subjunctive form of the verb. Are you looking to learn more about this topic?
