Are there just 3 moods in spanish grammar?

Question

Imperative, subjunctive and indicative are three moods, are they the only three spanish moods or are there more than that?

Answer 1

I think you're right -- there are three moods.

Both Spanish and English have three verb moods: indicative, subjunctive and imperative. All verbs (other than infinitives, participles and gerunds when used alone) are in one of those moods.

Answer 2

Yes, traditional Spanish grammars tends to recognize just three verbal moods: imperativo, indicativo and subjuntivo (although it should be noted that the conditional can also be considered a mood)

Answer 3

Some people consider the conditional to be a 4th mood.

Answer 4

The imperative is also taught as a subset of the subjunctive.

Answer 5

The imperative is also taught as a subset of the subjunctive. The form is the same. The reasons to use the subjunctive include when an action may or may not happen.

Also, when expressing influence, which a command does explicitly. - pesta, Jan 8, 2011
