German : subjunctive vs indicative

German : subjunctive vs indicative

Its use in reported speech, however , is unavoidable and should be mastered.

1. The most important thing to be remembered is that the subjunctive expresses the uncertain, the hypothetical and the supposed,

whereas the indicative expresses certainty, fact and definite knowledge.

eg.,

i) Er fragte mich, ob ich keanr bin.
vs
Ich fragte ihn, ob er krank sei.

ii) Ich mochte wissen, ob er kommt.
vs
ich fragte mich, ob er kame.


2. In short, the forms of the subjunctive are on the whole very regular and its uses are mainly in :

1) conditional clauses;
2) indirect speech;
3) a number of exclamatory wishes and
4) some clauses introduced by damit ( in order that) or als ob ( as if).

無綫劇集《 點解阿 Sir係阿 Sir》播出短短兩日，已成為討論區熱烈談論話題，並非因劇名似亞視舊劇《 點解阿 Sir係隻鬼》、卧底橋段明抄星爺電影《 逃學威龍》，也不是因有陳豪、楊怡及「 密密死」的羅樂林擔綱，而是廿多歲扮學生妹的蔡嘉寶（ Akina）和樂瞳夠 pure夠 true，深受高登討論區網友追捧。

現年 22歲的 Akina，不經不覺已入行 6年，龍模出身， 06年參選過 Yes！舉辦的校花校草選舉，在 o靚模界薄有名氣，也曾客串電影和劇集。

早前 Akina又夾埋樂壇組合 C All Star拍攝「 狂躁港女當街要男友擲電話」假片，被網民越鬧越有知名度。

一時間榮升高登女神， Akina 也難逃被起底厄運，更被搜出大量「 驚典」舊照，認真女大十八變。
至於另一女神、現年 24歲的樂瞳，在劇中扮演壞學生，戲份甚重，她在 TVB的人氣榜中更高踞 No.1，連羅樂林的人氣也不及她。
