What is the indicative mood

Would you like to know what is the indicative mood with examples to clarify this concept? You have come to the right place, since in this lesson of a TEACHER that we begin we are going to study it in detail so that you learn to conjugate verbs in this way.

Let us remember that the Spanish language has three main modes of conjugation, which are the imperative, the subjunctive and the indicative. Each of them expresses an intention or interest. In these cases, the first is used to give orders, the second to talk about wishes or intentions, and the third, which interests us here, to talk about concrete events that have happened, happened or will happen.

Let's see what the indicative mood is. Take paper and pencil, the lesson begins!

As defined by its own RAE, that is, the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language, is the one that states as real what the verb expresses. Obviously, it is one of the most used on a daily basis, since it is used to talk about the actions we carry out.

In examples we can see more clearly what the indicative mood is like. It is the case of: I sing in an orchestra - You have spoken with Manuel - They will leave in fifteen minutes.

We can see that all verbs are conjugated in such a way that express concrete actions, totally objective. That is to say, there is no order, and neither desire. Whether in the present, past or future tense, events that happened, will happen or are happening are discussed.

Both in their past and current conjugation, they are expressed actions that have happened or are happening. In the future, they are actions, however, that will happen, but they are existent, very probable, but not wishes or possibilities, and not orders, as the subjunctive and imperative modes do. So they are not hypothetical or unreal.

In this other article we will discover what are the differences between indicative and subjunctive mood. Here you can also know what is imperative mood.

At this point, it is time for you to know more indicative mood examples in various sentences so that you learn its use in very varied circumstances:
