If I were a bird, I would fly to Beijing.

Hi.

"If I were a bird, I would fly to Beijing."

What's the mood of the main clause "I would fly to Beijing."? Is it indicative, subjunctive or conditional? Thank you.

It's not my homework, I came up with the sentence myself. I think the dependent clause uses subjunctive mood, but I don't know what mood the main clause uses, so I asked for help.

Note that I have changed your thread title. Titles should be made up of as much of the sentence you're asking us to look at as possible. Your actual subject or question should appear only in the main body of your post.

Indicative.

The 'would' shows modality, not mood.
