  1. The Indicative Mood • Page Archer, Sefy Paulose, Samuel Gorka

  2. What is the Indicative Mood? • A statement in the indicative mood indicates certainty. • Expressions of certainty indicate that in the speaker’s mind, the event described is a fact. • Expressions of certainty are followed by a verb in the indicative mood • Example: Es cierto que José está bien informado. It’s true that José is well-informed. • The indicative is a mood, not a tense

  3. The Indicative in Comparison With the Subjunctive • Indicative Example: Me parece que hoy va a llover. • Subjunctive Example: No creo que llueva hoy. • The difference is that the subjunctive has an expression of doubt, opposite of the expressions of certainty that are associated with the indicative

  4. Common Expressions of Certainty • These expressions are triggers or hints that the sentence is in the indicative mood.
