VERB MOODS

In English, the tense of a verb indicates whether something happens in the past,
present or the future. The mood of a verb shows the manner or mode in which a
thought is expressed. There are different types of verb mood:

•Interrogative mood expresses a question. Are you still interested in buying that car?
•Imperative mood expresses a command or request. Come out here right away.
•Indicative mood expresses a statement of fact, or that something is happening in reality. I
have piano lessons every Wednesday at 5:30.
•Conditional mood expresses that an outcome is dependent upon a condition being fulfilled.
