What is the subjunctive?

The subjunctive is used to express wishes, probabilities, or conditions which are contrary to fact. It is called Konjunktiv 2 in German.

It would be like the "would do" function in English. For example:

I would like to go to the supermarket.

Ich würde gerne zum Supermarkt gehen.
