## **Grammar Analysis**

### **1. “Wenn ein Tag nur 48 Stunden lang wäre,”**
#### **Word-by-word Breakdown**
– **”Wenn”** → Subordinating conjunction meaning **”if”**, introducing a hypothetical condition.
– **”ein Tag”** → Subject phrase.
– **”ein”** → Indefinite article (**”a”**).
– **”Tag”** → Masculine singular noun meaning **”day”** (nominative case).
– **”nur”** → Adverb meaning **”only”**, emphasizing the restriction.
– **”48 Stunden”** → Time expression meaning **”48 hours”** (plural, accusative).
– **”lang”** → Adjective meaning **”long”**, describing **”48 Stunden”**.
– **”wäre”** → Third-person singular **Konjunktiv II (Subjunctive II)** of **”sein”** (to be).
– Used here to describe an **imaginary** or **unreal** situation.

#### **Meaning**
This clause describes a **hypothetical situation**—if a day **were** 48 hours long (which is not currently possible).

#### **Konjunktiv II Usage**
In hypothetical **”Wenn”** clauses, the **Konjunktiv II** (subjunctive mood) is used for **imaginary** or **unreal situations**.
**Structure:** **Wenn + Konjunktiv II → Konjunktiv II**
Example:
– *”Wenn ich mehr Geld hätte, würde ich reisen.”* (*If I had more money, I would travel.*)

### **2. “wären all meine Probleme gelöst…”**
#### **Word-by-word Breakdown**
– **”wären”** → Third-person plural **Konjunktiv II** of **”sein”** (to be), indicating a hypothetical outcome.
– **”all meine Probleme”** → Subject phrase.
– **”all”** → Indefinite pronoun meaning **”all”**, modifying **”Probleme”**.
– **”meine”** → Possessive adjective **”my”**, agreeing with **”Probleme”** (plural).
– **”Probleme”** → Masculine plural noun meaning **”problems”**.
– **”gelöst”** → Past participle of **”lösen”** (to solve), functioning as an adjective.
– Used in a **passive voice construction**:
– *”Die Probleme sind gelöst.”* (The problems are solved.)
– In Konjunktiv II, it becomes **”wären gelöst”** (would be solved).

#### **Meaning**
This clause expresses the **hypothetical result**:
*”All my problems would be solved…”*

Since the **condition (a 48-hour day) is impossible**, the **Konjunktiv II** is used to describe the **imaginary outcome**.
