The other two ways in which verbs can be conjugated are:

• Subjunctive mode. It is used to express wishes, assumptions, requests, or to express possible or hypothetical actions that are not really happening at the time they are expressed. This mode can be formulated in future (tu drink); past imperfectwe would drink) or present (she drinks).
• Indicative mode. It is used to express actions that occur, occurred or will occur in a concrete way. It can be conjugated in the past perfect simple (drank); conditionalwould drink); futurewill drink); past imperfectdrank) or present (baby).

Characteristics of the imperative mood

The imperative mood is used to express requests, orders and wishes. Unlike other modes, it is only used in the second person singular or plural. For example: eat, eat.

On the other hand, imperative verbs are not always conjugated in the same way when it is positive as when it is negative.

For example, with the verb drink the following occurs:

• I: - -
• Your: take / don't take
• You: take / don't take
• We: let's take / don't take
• You: take / don't take
• They: take / don't take

With irregular verbs, it should be taken into account that they start from the first person singular of the present indicative to form the imperative and the negative formal, which correspond to the subjunctive.

For example, with the verb do:

• I: - -
• Your: do / don't do
• You: do / don't do
• We: do / don't do
• You: do / don't do
• They: do / don't do

Subjunctive and imperative mood

On certain occasions, subjunctive verbs are used to formulate an imperative sentence. These occasions are as follows:

• To formulate negative orders. They are used to order someone to stop doing something For example: No thrusts more. / Don't you stay away.
• For the first person plural. To convey a wish or request. For example: Let's take Water. / Let's go back to see us soon.
• To formulate requests. To express something in a friendly tone, without sounding like an order. For example: I talked stronger / no come back to call.
