★★★★★ German teacher says: German Perfekt and Plusquamperfekt are used a little bit differently from English Present Perfect and Past Perfect, so naming them as those may lead to mistakes. More importantly: wäre/wär(e)st/... are the forms of the Konjunktiv II (as noted under "Verb Forms") and not the Simple Past/Präteritum of the Konjunktiv I (as noted under "Subjunctive I). I'm not guaranteeing everything else is right, these two/three mistakes were just very obvious
