Can someone give me examples and the meaning of the indicative and subjunctive mood?

Question

Is conditional, and imperfect moods too? If so, what do they mean?

Answer 1

The subjunctive mood is used to talk about imaginary or unreal situations or a desire like "If I were an animal I would be a dog"...you're obviously not an animal and never will be...and you're right it is often used in conditional sentences...another case of subjunctive is when it's used with wish like "I wish I were a millionaire" or "I wish I had lots of money"...In English you use the past tense to form the subjunctive and if you need to use the verb to be, use "were" with all pronouns (I were, he were, she were, we were, etc) although when speaking many people say "If I was"...

The conditional mood is the one that expresses lack of certainty and it occurs especially but no only in conditional sentences. There are five types of conditional

the zero conditional expresses a situations that's always true or often happen, for example "If I have a headache I take an aspirin"

the first conditional expresses a situation which is likely to happen in the future, for example, "If it rains this afternoon I won't go out"

the second conditional is about a situation which is unreal or unlikely to happen, like "If I became the president of the US, I would abolish taxes"

the third conditional talks about a past situation which has already happened and therefore it's impossible to change, like "If I had gone to the party yesterday I would have had lots of fun"

the mixed conditional is similar to the third only that the consequence of the action is still visible in the present like, "If penicillin hadn't been discovered, many people would die from infections"

The indicative mood is the one we use to establish a fact or something that is true like "The Earth is round". "I am a student", "I went to a party yesterday"...It's the most commonly used mood and there is an indicative form for present, past and future

There is no such thing as the imperfect mood...the imperfect is a verb tense, although it is not called so in English...the English equivalents to other languages' imperfect tense are for example I was eating or I used to eat, that is, the past progressive, etc...in English only the subjunctive has an imperfect form which is the one I explained to you before (I were, she were, etc) as oppossed to the present subjunctive which is not very common and can be seen in sentences like "She requests that he come to the meeting tomorrow"...as you can see the -s is not used with the third person in this case...

ok I hope I was clear enough, please let me know if you still have any doubts!

Answer 2

it particularly is a temper, no longer a demanding, technically. demanding isn't the only factor that necessitates distinctive endings. until eventually the verb is strange in the subjunctive (and those you will merely could memorise), you are able to usually conjugate them each and each of a similar way. For -ar verbs, the endings would be comparable to those you will usually use for indicative -er verbs different than for first man or woman singular (-e, -es, -e, -emos, -éis, -en). For -er and -ir verbs, the endings would be those you will usually use for indicative -ar verbs--however, back, different than for the 1st man or woman singular--(-a, -as, -a, -amos, -áis, -an). to understand what stem to apply, merely take the 1st man or woman singular (yo) style of the verb and drop the -o. as an occasion, the stem for hablar would be hablo minus the -o. Then merely upload the proper ending (hable, hables, hable, hablemos, habléis, hablen).

Answer 3

Indicative is like: where is the cat?
Subjuntice is liek: if I was a cat, I would be so beautiful.
