520 $a This comparative grammar examines the morphological means by which the subjunctive mood is expressed in both English and German, followed by a study of the uses in independent and dependent clauses.
520 $a The German subjunctive I and II inflectional system is largely distinct from the indicative mood, whereas English has experienced syncretism, almost eliminating the distinction between subjunctive and indicative verb forms in isolation. English and German are parallel in that both have the subjunctive I based on the present stem of the verb and a subjunctive II based on the past stem. English and German differ in that German has a set of endings varied according to person and number, while English has zero-endings.
520 $a The uses of the present subjunctive I and II in English and German can be divided into two semantic categories, the optative and the potential. In the optative category, the present subjunctive I functions in real wishes, goals and objectives, instructions, conditions and final clauses and the present subjunctive II is employed in unreal wishes. Under the potential category in both languages fall the uses of the present subjunctive I in conditions, concessives and after verbs of doubting and fearing. The present subjunctive I is also employed in indirect speech in German and hypothetical situations (after 'lest') in English. The present subjunctive II in both English and German is used in implied conditions, polite requests, unreal conditions, concessives, clauses of false comparison and hypothetical situations. In German, the present subjunctive II is also used in clauses expressing exceptions and unfulfilled expectations as well as in indirect speech.
520 $a The uses of the past subjunctive I and II in English and German are almost entirely parallel to those of the present subjunctive I and II, with the exception of real wishes and polite requests and statements which are logically restricted to a present subjunctive. In German, the present subjunctive II is also required in implied conditions and select unreal conditions. Unfulfilled expectations require the past subjunctive II in German.
520 $a The range of uses of the English and German subjunctive are largely similar, as is the tendency to employ the replacement form would/wurde + infinitive.
