​Verb Moods

​What are the 5 main verb moods?

The five main verb moods are

indicative, interrogative, imperative, subjunctive, and conditional

Indicative mood is the easiest to recognize because it is a statement of fact, which is very common. (“Indicate” means to point out or show.)

​

Interrogative mood asks questions, like the word “interrogate.”

Conditional mood is when you discuss something that could possibly happen (but hasn’t yet), especially if “it depends” or if there are conditions that must be met first.

​

They are often “if/then” sentences. Conditional mood often uses verbs like could, would, should, and might.
