indicative (reality) and the subjunctive (possibility).

subjunctive mood. The subjunctive evokes the unreal or subjectivity. It is used to express: a grammatical term which describes the subject’s attitude. It shows the subject’s mood (wish, hope, fear, uncertainty…) toward a fact or an idea – often involving another person. Often, 2 different people are involved: the first one wanting/hoping/ fearing… that the other one does something.

To have a Subjunctive in French, you need to have 2 conditions:  At least 2 subjects = subject 1 wanting, wishing, ordering, fearing… that subject 2do this action.  or an expression which is specifically followed by the subjunctive (list below to be learned by heart)

plural) in the present tense of the indicative. – Remove the ending “-ent” and you get the base of the subjunctive! – Add the endings :

indicative mood Unlike the indicative which expresses a reality – a certainty, So, If The Same Person Is Doing Both Actions, Or If It’s A General Statement Concerning Everybody, You Can Avoid The Subjunctive And Use An Infinitive Construction.

To express affirmation or certainty with “objective” verbs, use the indicative :

I notice that) I think that) I say that)

Je constate que, j’observe que, je remarque que… Je crois que, je pense que, je suppose que, j’imagine que… J’affirme que, je déclare que, je dis que…

(“I think you’re brave to learn French.”)

“Je trouve que vous êtes courageux d’apprendre le

(present tense)

français.”

When using the verb “espérer”, the indicative should also be used:

“J’espère qu’ilferabeau demain.” (futur de l’indicatif) → (“I hope the weather will be nice tomorrow.”)
