Lesson 43
Mood of Verbs
Verbs express one of three moods—the indicative mood, the imperative mood, or the
subjunctive mood.
The 
indicative mood
makes a statement or asks a question. This is the mood most often
used.
Ron told Sarah the news.
The 
imperative mood
expresses a command or makes a request.
Tell Sarah the news, Ron.
The 
subjunctive mood
is used mainly in formal English. It is used to express a demand, a
recommendation, a suggestion, or a statement of necessity.
Ace recommended that the minutes be accepted. (be instead of am, is, or are)
The subjunctive mood may also be used to state a condition or a wish that is contrary to
fact.
If he were sure of his facts, he would sign the affidavit. (were instead of was)
