A verb’s mood shows the mode or manner in which a
verb is expressed. It shows attitude of the speaker.
For example, is the verb telling a fact,
giving a command, expressing a wish etc?

There are 5 main types of verb moods. Can you guess
what they express based on what they are called?
Indicative
Imperative
Interrogative
Conditional
Subjunctive

The indicative mood expresses a fact, opinion, or
question. Most English sentences are in this mood.
Examples:
I went to the school
dance yesterday night.
I think the school
dances are lame.
Can I please go to the
dance tonight?

The imperative mood expresses a command or a
direct request. One hint to recognizing this mood is
there is that the subject ‘you’ is implied in the
sentence, but not stated: (You) Go home!”
Examples:
Text me when you get home.
Don’t text me after 10:00pm.
Set your cellphone alarm.

The interrogative mood asks a question that
requests an action or asks for information. In this
mood the main verb comes before the subject.
Examples:
Has the band finished their set?
Where is the concert this year?
When will you get home
from the concert?

The conditional mood expresses a state that
depends on something else to happen. One hint to
recognizing this mood is the common use of the
words might, should could, and would.
Examples:
If it storms, the carnival might be closed.
If you had called, I would have
come to the carnival.
If you go, you could win the
title of Carnival Queen.

The subjunctive mood is not used often, and it is
much more difficult to locate. The subjunctive mood
most often expresses a wish, doubt, imaginary
situation, or anything else contrary to fact.
Examples:
I wish I were in Thailand, it is too
cold here. (wish)
May you always be happy! (wish)
He speaks Spanish as if he were
from Spain. (contrary to fact).

There are two rules you can use that may help you locate
the subjunctive mood.
1. When using the third person singular (he, she, it) in the
subjunctive mood, there is no ‘es’ or ‘s’ at the end of the
verb.
Example: The teacher
asked that he leave her
in peace.

2. The verb “to be” is used differently with this mood.
In the present tense, the verb is always be, not the normal
use of am, is, or are.
Peace be with you. (Not “Peace is with you”).
In the past tense, the verb is
always were, never was.
If I were a millionaire, I would
buy my own island.
