Welcome! In this deck, you'll learn how to talk about hypothetical situations in German, like saying what you 'would' do. This is called the conditional mood. In German, the most common way to do this is by using a special verb, 'würde', combined with another verb in its original infinitive form.

The verb 'würde' changes its ending depending on who you are talking about, just like other verbs. Let's go through the forms. For 'I', it's 'ich würde'. For the informal 'you', it's 'du würdest'. For 'he', 'she' or 'it', it's 'er würde', 'sie würde', or 'es würde'. For 'we', it's 'wir würden'. For the informal plural 'you', it's 'ihr würdet'. And for 'they' or the formal 'you', it's 'sie würden' or 'Sie würden'.
