A French verb may have six moods. There are the subjunctive, indicative and conditional moods of wishes, reality, and conditions respectively. There also is the participial mood. The participle has a present form whose equivalent in English ends the verb in '-ing'. It also has a past form whose equivalent in English ends the verb in '-ed'. The infinitive is the equivalent of the English 'to...'. As with the participial and imperative [of command] moods, it has forms in a present and a past tense.
