Turn and talk to your neighbor... What is a verb? Discuss everything you remember. Verbs are words that refer to actions or states of being. Mood, Tense, and Voice!!! Verb Moods Mood is the form of the verb that shows the mode or manner in which a thought is expressed. A verb's mood shows, if you will, what kind of message the speaker has in mind for the sentence. Is it stating a fact? Expressing a command or a wish? A condition? There are 5 verb moods. • Indicative • Imperative • Interrogative • Conditional • Subjunctive Indicative Mood: expresses a fact, denial, or question. Little Rock is the capital of Arkansas. Ostriches cannot fly. Have you finished your homework? Imperative Mood: expresses command, prohibition, or advice. Don’t smoke in this building. Be careful! Don’t drown that puppy! Interrogative Mood: expresses a state of questioning. • When was the last time we met? • Do you want tea or coffee? • What did I tell you? • I suppose you'd like something to eat. • You did what?! Subjunctive Mood: expresses a command, a wish, a suggestion or a condition that is contrary to fact. • I was in your position two years ago. NOT SUBJUNCTIVE • If I were in your position, I would do the same. SUBJUNCTIVE Non-Subjunctive Subjunctive Is allowed Be allowed I was ordered If I were to order He cooks That he cook The following verbs often attract the subjunctive mood: ask, command, demand, insist, order, recommend, suggest and wish. • I wish it were still in use. (subjunctive mood - "it • • was" becomes "it were") The board recommended that the motion be passed immediately. (subjunctive mood "motion is passed" becomes "motion be passed") She suggests that Mark work full time from Saturday. (subjunctive mood - "Mark works" becomes "Mark work") The following adjectives often attract the subjunctive mood: crucial, essential, important, imperative and necessary. It is imperative that the game begin at once. (subjunctive mood - "game begins" becomes "game begin") Conditional Mood: signifies that something is contingent upon the outcome of something else. If people eat too much, they get fat. If I have time, I will visit you. If I had more time, I would travel the world. If I had had time I would have gone to the football match. Shifts in Mood Just as you should avoid needless shifts in subject, person, and tense, you should also avoid illogical shifts in mood. Faulty shifts in mood often involve the indicative and the imperative. INCORRECT: First, preheat the oven; then you should grease the cake pan. (shift from imperative to indicative) CORRECT: First, preheat the oven; then grease the cake pan. Tense Verb tense tells at what time the action took place (or didn't take place), or when the situation held true (or didn't). In English, there are three main tenses: past, present, and future.
