Definition

A set of verb forms indicating the relationship between the verb's action and the speaker's perception of it. Spanish and English each have three verb moods: indicative, subjunctive and imperative. All verbs other than infinitives, participles and gerunds when used alone are in one of those moods. In both languages, the indicative mood is the "normal" verb form, the one used to make statements of fact. The subjunctive (not often distinguished in English but common in Spanish) is often used to indicate that something is not factual but is probable, unlikely, hoped for or feared. The imperative mood is used to give direct commands.

Also Known As : mode; el modo in Spanish

Examples:

In Spanish: Isabellacanta. Prefiero que Isabellacante. Isabella, í canta!

(The highlighted verbs are in the indicative, subjunctive and imperative moods,

respectively.) In English: Isabella sings. I prefer that Isabella sing. Isabella, sing!

Could you give very simple examples of these moods in both languages
