mood is a very essential learning for your complete knopwledge of english grammar.
The mood of the verbs refers to whether or not something is a fact. The intention of the speaker/writer is understood by the mood of the verbs.
Grammatical mood, also known as mode, refers to the quality or form of a verb in a sentence. More specifically, mood denotes the tone of a verb in a sentence, so the intention of the writer or speaker is clear.
Indicative mood
Imperative mood
Subjunctive mood
Each of the types has a particular function.
Indicative mood tells the reader/listener something factual. This mood is generally used in making a statement or asking for a statement by a question. The statement can be factual or presumed to be factual.
Example:
Rabindranath was a great educationalist.
What are you learning?
I am learning mood.
Imperative mood makes a verb sounds as a command or request. It always uses the second person as the subject of the sentence and most of the time the subject remains hidden.
Example:
Bring the umbrella here.
Make me a bowl of soup, please.
Let her take her own decisions. (Here, ‘let’ is the verb of this sentence, not ‘take’.)
Subjunctive mood indicates the possibility, wishes, or hypothetical statements. It is almost the opposite of the indicative mood. This mood usually mixes the tense of the verbs and does not follow the common usage of the tense.
Subjunctive has some different structures from the other structures of sentences.
