Four moods are definite: the verb has all the complete information of time, person, form...
Three moods are indefinite: the verb doesn’t have all the complete information of time, person, form...

- subjunctive

- condizional

- imperative

- gerundive
(expresses a relation with the main clause)
- participle
(expresses a relation with the main clause and has often the function of adjective or noun)
