What is it?

• The subjunctive is a mood. It is used to express
  an action that is desired or hoped for but that
  is not necessarily real.
• The indicative mood is what all the verb tenses
  so far have been. It indicates or expresses
  actions that definitely are taking place, did
  take place, or will take place.
• Like a tense, it has its own endings for
  different times. Youll learn those gradually
  over a period of time.
