C1 German worksheet on Konjunktiv II in the past: hätte/wäre + participle, modal double infinitives, passive, questions and negatives. Printable, with answers.
Start by asking learners about a missed opportunity (Was hätten Sie anders gemacht?) to elicit the structure, then work through the exercises from controlled to freer. Typical mistakes include using würde + participle instead of hätte/wäre, choosing haben with verbs of movement, writing gemusst/gesollt instead of the double infinitive, and placing hätte at the end of a subordinate clause with a double infinitive. As a follow-up, ask learners to write a short text about a day when everything went wrong, using at least five unreal past sentences.
