In Modern English we distinguish three moods;

The Indicative Mood.

The Imperative Mood.

The Subjunctive Mood.

THE INDICATIVE MOOD

The Indicative Mood shows that the action or state expressed by the verb is presented as a fact.

The Indicative Mood is also used to express a real condition, i. e. a condition the realization of which is considered possible.
