I've made a list of all the verb forms, but I'm not sure if it's complete? And the "=?" is because I don't know how to translate it. Could someone help me please?

1. Indicativo

  • 1.1 Ind. Presente (Hablo = I speak/talk)
  • 1.2 Ind. Préterito perfecto/compuesto (he hablado = I've spoken)
  • 1.3 Ind. Pretérito imperfecto (hablaba = I spoke)
  • 1.4 Ind. Pretérito pluscuamperfecto (había hablado = I had spoken)
  • 1.5 Ind. Pretérito indefinido/Pret. perfecto simple (hablé = I spoke)
  • 1.6 Ind. Pretérito anterior (hube hablado = ? )
  • 1.7 Ind.Futuro simple (hablaré = I shall speak)
  • 1.8 Ind. Futuro Perfecto (habré hablado = I shall have spoken)
  • 1.9 Condicional (hablaría = I would speak)
  • 1.10 Condicional compuesto (habría hablado = I would have spoken)

2. Subjuntivo

  • 2.1 Subj. presente (hable = ? )
  • 2.2 Subj. Pretérito perfecto (haya hablado = ? )
  • 2.3 Subj. Pretérito imperfecto (hablase/hablara = ? )
  • 2.4 Subj. Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto (hubiera/hubiese hablado = ? )
  • 2.5 Subj. Futuro (hablare = ? )
  • 2.6 Subj. Futuro Perfecto (hubiere hablado = ? )

The indicative, subjunctive, and imperative are moods. Conditional (once considered a mood) is now an indicative mood tense. The participles (along with the infinitive) are non-finite (impersonal) forms of the verb.

The verbs tenses in the subjunctive mood mean the same as in the indicative mood, except that the future often uses the present tense, and the conditonal often used the past tense..

I speak/will speak, spoke/would speak, have spoken, had spoken, (the future and future perfect are in the process of being disused)

The only difference between the indicative and subjunctive is that when we translate them to into English we have to remember to use the appropriate mood in English.

English- e.g. Ser/estar

Indicative-past... I was

subjunctive past-.....I were
