11 Review of Indicative Indicative (is a mood). The indicative form is used to talk about factual information. Conjugated in the present tense. Ex: Quiero, quieres, quiere, queremos, quieren When using the INDICATIVE with infinitives or subjunctives, you ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS put the INDICATIVE first. Ex: Quiero que mi mamá me compre (subjunctive) un tele. Or: Quiero hablar (infinitive) con mi amiga.

12 Infinitive An infinitive verb is a basic form of a verb. The infinitive in English is always to and the verb. Ex: to walk, to laugh, to study In Spanish the INFINITIVE is a verb that has NOT been conjugated. Example: comer, vivir, hablar, beber, manejar

13 Subjunctive (subjuntivo)
Like the INDICATIVE, The SUBJUNCTIVE is a mood because it reflect the speakers opinion towards a given situation. We use the SUBJUNTIVE to talk about DOUBT, OPINIONS, HOPES, WISHES, etc. The subjunctive is also used when one person is requesting something of someone else. Ex: Yo quiero(indicative) que tu hables (subjunctive) conmigo. Ex: Ella espera (indicative) que yo vaya (subjunctive) a la tienda.
