. The
common moods in the English language are
indicative, imperative,
interrogative, conditional, and
subjunctive.Slide3
Indicative mood is
fact.

,

. Rain
is
not
falling

o
not
forget
your homework.

Subjunctive mood shows something hypothetical or contrary to fact. It might be a wish, a desire, a doubt, or an imaginary situation.
Examples:

school were over, I would take a nap. (It's not over.)
If

Conditional Mood-
indicating
a conditional state that will cause something else to
happen

preceded
by a subordinate conjunction like

in the verb mood occurs when more than one mood is used in the same
sentence. Unnecessary shifts should be avoided.
“Raise

your question

“Raise”
is imperative, while
“can you ask”
is interrogative.
