Def: A Mood is the mode or manner in which a statement is made by a verb.
Types: Mood is of three types:
- Indicative.
- Imperative.
- Subjunctive.
a) Indicative: The indicative mood is used to:
i) To state a fact. Eg: He goes. I like to play.
ii) To ask a question: Eg: What is your name? Are you ill?
iii) To express a supposition which is taken as a fact. Eg: If he goes there, he will be punished. If it rains, you will not come.
b) Imperative: The imperative mood is used only in the present tense and in the second person to:
i) Give orders. Eg: Go there (go you there). Sit down (sit you down).
ii) Make a request. Eg: Come in, please. Please do it.
iii) Give an advice. Eg: Do not tell a lie. Be steady.
iv) To entreat. Eg: Save me.
c) Subjunctive: The subjunctive mood is used to:
i) A condition or supposition contrary to fact. Eg: If I were you, I should do it. Were he here, he would tell him this.
ii) A wish. Eg: May you be happy. May you win.
iii) A proposal, intention or order not yet carried out. Eg: The sentence is that he be hanged by neck.
