+The **Indicative mood** indicates that the action of the verb is being portrayed as real (or actual).
+It does not mean that the action portrayed is real.  The speaker could be lying.  He could be telling a parable,
+a make-believe story, exaggerating, or just be wrong.  In all of these cases the statement is presented as being real. 
+
+The indicative mood may be used in:
+
+  #.	Declarative statements
+  #.	Interrogative statements (or questions)
+  #.	Conditional statements, or 
+  #.	Imperatives
+
+
+Declarative indicative
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A declarative statement makes a statement or assertion.  This is the most common use of the indicative mood.
+
+Example:
+Table VM-2  Declarative Indicative

+John 1:1
+ἐν,ἀρχῇ,**ἦν**,ὁ,λόγος
+en,archē,**ēn**,ho,logos
+in,beginning,**it was**,the,word
+
+*In the beginning* **was** *the Word*
+
+
+ Interrogative Indicative
+
+The indicative mood may be used in a question when it expects a declarative response. It assumes that there is a factual response to the question.
+
+Example:
+
+Table VM-3   Interrogative Indicative
+
+John 1:38
+λέγει αὐτοῖς, "τί ζητεῖτε?"
+legei autois, "ti zēteite?"
+He said to them  what  do you seek
+
+What do you seek?”
+
+
+Conditional Statement- Indicative
+
+A verb in the indicative mood may be used in the first part of a conditional statement (known as the protasis or the “if clause”),   In this case the clause usually begins with ἐι (if).  Often it will contain the particle ἀν (a non-translatable particle which makes a statement conditional) in the apodosis (or the “then clause”).   It is appropriate for the indicative mood to be used in the protasis because it is being presented as reality (If this is so, then this.)
+
+  Example
+John 5:46
+εἰ γὰρ ἐπιστεύετε Μωϋσεῖ, ἐπιστεύετε ἂν ἐμοί
+ei gar episteuete Mōusei, episteuete an emoi
+if for   you believed Moses  you would have believed  me
+
+For if you believed Moses, you would believe me 
+
+
+Imperative Indicative
+
+The future indicative is sometimes used to express a command.
+
+Example:
+Matthew 19:18
+ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν, τὸ "οὐ φονεύσεις, οὐ μοιχεύσεις
+ho de Iēsous eipen, to "ou phoneuseis, ou moicheuseis
+the but Jesus he said the not you will kill, not you will commit adultery
+
+But Jesus said, “Do not kill, do not commit adultery
+
