Mood has the four following possible values for French, on finite verb forms:
Ind: indicative
The indicative can be considered the default mood. A verb in indicative merely states that something happens, has happened or will happen, without adding any attitude of the speaker.
Examples
- Tu le fais. “You do it.”
Imp: imperative
The speaker uses imperative to order or ask the addressee to do the action of the verb.
Examples
- Fais le! “Do it!”
Cnd: conditional
The conditional mood is used to express actions that would have taken place under some circumstances but they actually did not / do not happen.
Examples
- Je le ferais. “I would do it.”
Sub: subjunctive
The subjunctive mood is used under certain circumstances in subordinate clauses, typically for actions that are subjective or otherwise uncertain.
Examples
- Je veux que tu le fasses. “I want you to do it.” lit. I want that you it do.
