This is the most commonly used mood, and it includes all the tenses (present, past, future, etc.). Here are some examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"><strong>Facts:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">She\u00a0<strong>lives<\/strong>\u00a0in New York.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The sky\u00a0<strong>is<\/strong>\u00a0blue.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"><strong>Statements:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I\u00a0<strong>ate<\/strong>\u00a0breakfast this morning.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We\u00a0<strong>will meet<\/strong>\u00a0tomorrow.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"><strong>Opinions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I think pizza\u00a0<strong>tastes<\/strong>\u00a0better with pineapple.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In my opinion, summer\u00a0<strong>is<\/strong>\u00a0the best season.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Reading\u00a0<strong>is<\/strong>\u00a0the most relaxing activity.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<p><a id=\"toc-5\" name=\"toc-5\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Interrogative mood<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The interrogative mood is used to ask questions. This mood helps the speaker ask about actions, states, or situations. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Are you coming<\/strong>\u00a0to the party?\u00a0(asking about an action)<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Do you like<\/strong>\u00a0pizza?\u00a0(asking about a state or preference)<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Will they arrive<\/strong>\u00a0on time?\u00a0(asking about a future situation)<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<p><a id=\"toc-6\" name=\"toc-6\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Imperative mood<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The imperative mood is used to give commands or make requests (to tell or ask someone to do something). When using this mood, the subject of the sentence (usually &#8220;you&#8221;) is implied, but it is not always stated. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"><strong>Commands:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Close<\/strong>\u00a0the door.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Turn off<\/strong>\u00a0the lights.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"><strong>Requests:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Please\u00a0<strong>pass<\/strong>\u00a0the salt.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Come<\/strong>\u00a0here.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In the imperative mood, you can sound polite by adding words like please, or you can sound more forceful by using a strong tone.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<p><a id=\"toc-7\" name=\"toc-7\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Subjunctive mood<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The subjunctive mood is less common in English, but it is used to express hypothetical situations, wishes, demands or things that are contrary to fact. It is often used after verbs like wish, suggest, demand or recommend.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In the subjunctive mood, verbs often take a different form (e.g., were instead of was). Here are some examples:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I wish I\u00a0<strong>were<\/strong>\u00a0taller.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If only she\u00a0<strong>were<\/strong>\u00a0here.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It\u2019s important that she\u00a0<strong>be<\/strong>\u00a0on time.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I suggest that he\u00a0<strong>study<\/strong>\u00a0harder.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<p><a id=\"toc-8\" name=\"toc-8\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Conditional mood<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The conditional mood is used to express hypothetical situations or things that depend on certain conditions. It often includes the word would and shows what might happen if something else happens. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If I had more time, I\u00a0<strong>would travel<\/strong>.\u00a0(hypothetical situation)<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He\u00a0<strong>would go<\/strong>\u00a0to the party if he were invited.\u00a0(condition depends on an invitation)<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The conditional mood can also be used for polite requests:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Would\u00a0<\/strong>you help me with this?<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary Mood refers to the way a verb is used to express the speaker\u2019s attitude towards what they are saying.
