Indicative Mood Indicatif
French has four personal moods: The indicative mood is the one used the most often because it indicates a fact or something that is happening, has happened, or will happen. The subjunctive mood is the mood of doubt, subjectivity, uncertainty, emotion, and will.
Imperative Mood (L’impératif)
There are three forms of the imperative: tu, nous and vous. For all verbs, the imperative is formed by taking the corresponding forms of the present indicative, but without subject pronouns. The lack of a subject pronoun is what identifies the imperative mood.
