Decides whether the verb capitalized in the following sentence was in the indicative mode or the subjunctive mode?

1. i WANT you to come to the party.
2. i know that you ARE right.
3. they asked me to BELIEVE them.
4. they can't let me DRIVE.
5. he prefers me to LEAVE my hair long.

I honestly don't understand the difference between subjunctive and indicative mood in Spanish... if someone could help me out that would be great.

Respuesta :

1. i WANT you to come to the party

The correct answer is the following.

1. I WANT you to come to the party. (indicative)

2. I know that you ARE right. (indicative)

3. they asked me to BELIEVE them. (subjunctive)

4. they can't let me DRIVE. (indicative)

5. he prefers me to LEAVE my hair long. (subjunctive).

The best way to understand the difference is the following. Verbs in the indicative mood make factual statements. It is such as a command, an order. On the other hand, verbs in the subjunctive mood use clauses such as "that or "if," trying to express a request or suggestion.
