Learn the Spanish indicative mood

The indicative is one of the verbal modes in Spanish and is the most commonly used. It is used to express actions, events, facts and situations in an objective, real and concrete manner. Through the indicative, speakers communicate information that they consider truthful, true and objective. It is the mode most frequently used in everyday communication to describe what happens in reality.

The present simple is a verb tense used to express actions that occur regularly, general truths or situations that are occurring at the present moment. It is formed from the infinitive stem of the verb for all persons, except for the third person singular, where there may be changes in the verb ending, depending on the type of verb. Like all Spanish verb tenses, here we will find regular and irregular verbs.

The preterite imperfect, also known as "imperfecto" or "pretérito imperfecto del indicativo", is another of the verb tenses used in Spanish to refer to past actions. Unlike the simple past (pretérito indefinido) which denotes actions completed in the past, the preterite imperfect is used to express actions that occurred habitually, repeatedly, enduringly or were in progress at a specific time in the past.

The preterite perfect compound is a verb tense in Spanish that is used to talk about actions that have occurred in the recent past and that have relevance in the present. It is a combination of two elements: the auxiliary verb "haber" conjugated in the present tense and the past participle of the main verb.

In Spanish, the simple past is known as "pretérito perfecto simple" or simply "pretérito indefinido". It is one of the most commonly used past verb tenses and is used to describe actions or events that occurred at a specific time and have already been completed in the past.

The simple future is used to express actions or situations that will occur in the future without any additional conditions or assumptions. It is formed by adding the appropriate endings to the infinitive of the verb. In Spanish, all verb conjugations, whether regular or irregular, have the same endings for the simple future.

The simple future is characterized by its simplicity and clarity, as it allows us to talk about actions that will take place in the future without additional conditions or assumptions. It is formed by adding the appropriate endings to the infinitive of the verb.

The simple indicative conditional is a Spanish verb tense used to express hypothetical, possible or imaginary actions or situations in relation to a past or future context. This verb tense is used to talk about what would happen or would be in certain specific conditions or circumstances.

Its formation is based on the auxiliary verb "haber" in the conditional and the infinitive of the main verb. It is used in a variety of contexts, including conditional actions, wishes, suggestions, hypothetical situations in the past and to express politeness in speech.
