What is the "indicative"?
The indicative is a grammatical mood used to express statements of fact, ask questions, or convey opinions. It is the most common mood in English and is used in sentences that describe reality or things that are true. For example, in the sentence "The sky is blue," the verb "is" is in the indicative mood, stating a fact. The indicative mood can also be used to form questions, as in "Are you coming?"
