German Grammer - Subjunctive ( Wishes ) - der Konjunktiv II - part 1


When we are talking about a situation that is not real, we use a special form of the verb known as the subjunctive. We use this form, for example, to express wishes.


der Konjunktiv II: The subjunctive is a verb form that is used to express something that is not real but is a fantastical proposition. It is used, for example, to express a wish or a requirement that is unrealistic. It is also used to ask a favor of someone or to make a proposal in a polite manner.
