4. What Is a Verb Mood? The mood of a verb designates the relationship of the verb's action relative to reality.

5. 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. indicative - mood of certainty, actuality 2. imperative - mood of command 3. subjunctive - mood of probability

6. 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".

7. 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".

8. 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 language- specific).

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. Forming the Subjunctive ─1 Only the SUBJUNCTIVE causes problems because it seems to contradict the way we normally make subjects and verbs agree.

12. 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.

13. Forming the Subjunctive ─3 The PAST SUBJUNCTIVE is the same as the perfect tense except for the verb "to be," which always requires "were."
