Special features of the modal verbs
Modal verbs wollen and ich möchte can govern a dass-clause. In this case, the subject of wollen / ich möchte is not the same as the subject of the dass-clause. Dass-clauses with passive voice or modal verb structures are the exception to this rule.
| Examples | subject of the modal verb | subject of the dass-clause |
| Ich will, dass du mir die Wahrheit sagst. | ich | du |
| Sie möchte, dass alle zur Party kommen. | sie | alle |
