The GERMAN SUBJUNCTIVE. EASY if you KNOW these couple of Things
WHAT IF? We all like to dream. And luckily, it’s easy to express in German. We’re talking about the subjunctive, a scary thought maybe, but stick around, because it’s easier than you think. If we’re talking about ourselves, we’re going to be using the verb 'würden' mostly to express not what we are doing or did do, but what we would do. It’s those hypothetical situations. Often talked about as a conditional, since we say what we would do if things were different. But for sein, haben and the modals, we need a special form of the subjunctive. Today we find out how.
The subjunctive is a whole lot easier if you know:
Simple Past • What's the POINT of th...

In this video we take a brief look at the present tense subjunctive only.
This video is part of a 13 week series for students at the University of Tasmania. It is accompanied by the textbook Bausteine zwei.

I absolutely love the way examples are provided along the way and talking about other rules that we have just learned previously that add to the lesson. It’s so important to add the examples in the videos in so many other people talk for so long before they add the examples, and they try to add them at the end. This is so good such a great way to teach! And the presenters voice is so relaxing.

Fantastic! Pleased it was useful, thanks for joining us! Weiterhin viel Spaß mit der deutschen Sprache 😀
I'm seeing a comment section that doesn't go with the video i'm watching right now, how is this possible? I'm on the page for a Tornado livestream and this comment section does not match the vidoe.

Hallo Alison, thank you for your kind comment and your interest in Bausteine. You can get the PDF editions of BAUSTEINE Zwei (super cheap) HERE bausteine.gumroad.com/l/pmadh and Bausteine eins (even cheaper 😀) here bausteine.gumroad.com/l/gszza - it’s all pretty much on the basis of what ever you think is a fair price (in AUD so pretty favourable for most of the rest of the world👍🏼) Alles Gute
