The indicative mood is the one most commonly used in Spanish. In the first three tenses, the ser conjugations are completely irregular, while the conditional and future conjugations follow the regular rules.
Keep in mind that there are two other subjunctive tenses: the future and another past tense form. The future subjunctive is hardly ever used, and the past subjunctive tense shown is the one most common.
In addition to the above tenses, there are also just as many compound tenses in the imperative and subjunctive mood. There are two groups of compound tenses, one with the helping verb haber and one with estar. The conjugation changes in these tenses happen within the helping verbs while the form of ser stays the same. For these compound ser conjugations, there are two new forms of ser that you need to learn.
