What Are Moods?
In English, moods refer to the various ways in which verbs can express the attitude of the speaker towards the action. This could include uncertainty, necessity, possibility, or command, to name a few. Understanding moods helps learners not only grasp how to form sentences correctly but also express themselves more naturally and with greater precision.
There are three primary moods in English: the indicative, imperative, and subjunctive. Each mood serves a distinct purpose:
Declarative: Used for stating facts.
Imperative: Used for giving commands or making requests.
