The present indicative is a mood of fact, of something that is happening. It’s a simple tense that tells you about something that exists in the present, in the here and now. In this part, I cover the present tense, including its three distinct meanings in English. For example je parle means I speak, I am speaking, and I do speak. All three meanings are possible for all verbs in the present indicative tense. In Chapter 2, I focus on regular present tense verbs. In Chapter 3, I delve into spelling-change verbs. Chapter 4 jumps into irregular (but still fun) present tense verbs. In Chapter 5, I explain pronominal verbs. Knowing the conjugation of verbs in the present indicative can help you form other tenses, such as the imperfect, the subjunctive, and the present participle. And finally, in Chapter 6, if you’re having trouble with present participles or gerunds, this chapter can help.
