7 Verb Moods First of all, what is a MOOD? mood = a way to express the attitude of the speaker to what is being said. There are three moods in English: indicative, imperative, and subjunctive. Indicative Mood Indicative means "stating a fact.“ The indicative mood is a category of verb forms that we use to state facts. verb Examples: "Joe plays outside." (The speaker thinks it's a fact.) "It will rain soon." (The speaker thinks it's a fact.) "She was studying all day long." (The speaker thinks it's a fact.)

8 Verb Moods Imperative Mood Imperative means "expressing an order.“ The imperative mood is a category of verb forms that we use to express orders, instructions, commands or requests. Examples: "Go outside!" (This is a command.) "Close the door, please." (This is a request.) "Don't move the object." (This is an instruction.) "Get plenty of rest!"

9 Verb Moods Subjunctive Mood Subjunctive means "subordinate" (less important than something else) or "dependent" (needing something/someone else). The subjunctive mood is a category of verb forms that we use to express things that are not facts: wishes, possibilities, doubts, suggestions, conditions, etc. "I wish I had some cheese..."

10 Verb Moods Examples: "It may snow tomorrow." (It is not a fact yet. It is a possibility in the speaker's mind.) (Incorrect: "It will snow tomorrow.") "I would do it if I had the time." (It is not a fact. It depends on me having the time.) "You should listen to your parents." (It is not a fact. It is a suggestion.) "She suggests that Michael move to the sales department." (Incorrect: "She suggests that Michael moves to the sales department.")
