Mood is a grammatical form of a verb that shows the speaker’s attitude towards an action. The moods in French are as follows:

  • indicative (indicatif),
  • imperative (impératif),
  • conditional
  • subjunctive (subjunctif).

In French, each mood has several tense forms. The tense in which the verb is located determines the moment of speech to which the action refers.

Indicative

The speaker is aware of the action as real, definite, which occurs in the present, past or future time. The indicative mood has the greatest use in language.

In French, the main forms of the indicative mood are:

  • present to express the present tense
  • passé composé, imparfait, plus-que-parfait, passé simple to express the past tense
  • futur simple, futur antérieur to express the future tense

Faisons! - Let's do! Choisissons! - Let's choose!

Regarde! - Look! Regardez! - Look!

Regardons! - Let's see! (Let's get a look!)

Reflexive verbs:

Leve-toi! - Get up! Levez-vous! - Get up! Levons-nous! - Let's get up!

Conditional mood

Indicates an action that may be possible, contemplated, or desired. This mood denotes an action, the possibility of which depends on specific and specific conditions.

The conditional mood has two tenses: le Conditionnel présent and le Conditionnel passé. Both tenses are translated by one form of the conditional mood.

Le Conditionnel présent coincides in form with le Futur dans le passé.

Il pourrait etre là. - He's probably there.

Il voudrait lire ce roman. — He would like to read this novel.

Si j'étais fort, je t'aidais. - If I were strong, I would help you.

Le Conditionnel passé is formed with the help of the auxiliary verbs avoir or être, which are found in le Conditionnel présent and le Participe passé of the conjugated verb.

Si tu étais venu au stade, tu aurais assisté à un match splendide. — If you came to the stadium, you would be present at a great match.

Si j'avais eu ton numéro, je t'aurais téléphoné le soir. - If I had your number, I would call you in the evening.

Subjunctive mood

Shows that the speaker views the action not as a real fact, but as expected or desired. It is usually used after impersonal phrases and verbs expressing will, command, prohibition (vouloir, prier, il faut, il semble), as well as in subordinate clauses after some conjunctions and allied words.

Il faut que j'aille à la poste. - I need to go to the post office.

Je veux que vous écoutiez l'instructeur. - I want you to listen to the instructor.

Le Subjonctif présent is formed by adding to the stem of the third person plural of the indicative mood (Indicatif) the endings: -е, -es, -е, -ions, -iez, -ent.

Exceptions to this rule are the verbs avoir, être and some others: parler, finir, mettre.

Il n'y a personne qui puisse l'aider. - Nobody can help him.

Je serais bien content qu’il soit là. “I would be very pleased if he were there.”
