 In the process of learning a second language (L2), the past subjunctive mood-which is used to describe hypothetical or non-existent past actions-presents significant difficulties. Despite being Indo-European languages, the past subjunctive is formed and used differently in French and German. French consolidates assistant action words with past participles, while German uses more intricate formation and word request rules. This study means to think about the obtaining of the past subjunctive by L2 students of French and German, recognizing explicit learning challenges and examples. By dissecting student execution and cross-phonetic impacts, this examination tries to upgrade how we might interpret syntactic securing and further develop showing systems for these two dialects.
