What Is a Verb Mood?

The mood of a verb designates the
relationship of the verb's action
relative to reality.
The types of verbs mood
The following is a simple list of moods of verbs in
the New Testament and what they generally
signify:
1.
2.
3.
indicative - mood of certainty, actuality
imperative - mood of command
subjunctive - mood of probability
Indicative Mood


The indicative mood express facts and
opinions.
It is the most commonly used mood and is
found in all languages.
Example:
"Paul is reading".
Imperative Mood


The imperative mood expresses commands,
direct requests, prohibitions.
In many circumstances, directly using the
imperative mood seems blunt or even rude, so
use with care.
Example:
"Paul, read that book".
Subjunctive Mood ─ 1

The subjunctive mood has several uses in
dependent clauses. Examples include
discussing hypothetical or unlikely events,
expressing opinions or emotions, or making
polite requests (the exact scope is languagespecific).
The Subjunctive Mood ─ 2



A verb is in the subjunctive mood when it
expresses a condition which is doubtful or not
factual.
It is most often found in a clause beginning
with the word “ if ”.
It is also found in clauses following a verb that
expresses a doubt, a wish, regret, request,
demand, or proposal.
These are verbs typically followed by
clauses that take the subjunctive:

ask, demand, determine, insist, move,
order, pray, prefer, recommend, regret,
request, require, suggest, and wish.
Forming the Subjunctive ─1

Only the SUBJUNCTIVE causes problems
because it seems to contradict the way we
normally make subjects and verbs agree.
Forming the Subjunctive ─2

The PRESENT SUBJUNCTIVE is simply the
base form of the verb (the infinitive without "to").
Peace be [not "is"] with you.
He is leaving, come [not "comes"] what may.
It is important that Jane have [not "has"] your
blessing.
Forming the Subjunctive ─3

The PAST SUBJUNCTIVE is the same as the
perfect tense except for the verb "to be," which
always requires "were."
