Abstract
In this paper, I closely investigated the teiru and teita forms in Japanese and showed how they can express the subjunctive mood (counterfactual meaning). The investigation shows that the two forms can express the subjunctive mood only when accompanied by a conditional subordinate clause, sharply contrasting them with their English counterparts.
