What are verb moods? Verb moods indicate a state of being or reality. They show the manner in which the action or condition is intended. Set up your foldable with five sections: indicative, interrogative, imperative, subjunctive, conditional

INDICATIVE Indicative states an apparent fact. This is the way verbs are normally used in English. Examples: Last year, I ate a sandwich for lunch almost every day. Mrs. Freeman drives a very nice car. Bernie's cat likes to sit on a piano bench.

INTERROGATIVE Interrogative indicates a state of questioning. In the interrogative, the subject-verb order is inverted. Examples: Will Dad take out the trash tomorrow? Have we completed the final project? Will you walk to the library tomorrow?

IMPERATIVE Imperative states a command or request. Frequently, the subject does not appear in the sentence, but it is implied. Examples: (You) Wait and watch before crossing the street. Come here. Hang on!

SUBJUNCTIVE Subjunctive expresses a doubt, desire, imaginary situation, or condition contrary to fact. The subjunctive typically takes these verbs: ask, demand, insist, move, order, pray, determine, prefer, recommend, regret, request, require, suggest, wish Examples: If I were you, I would study very hard for Friday's test. I prefer Mom drive me to the store instead of my cousin Bob. Principal Andrews insists that we students walk on the right side of the hallway.

CONDITIONAL Conditional indicates a conditional state that will cause something else to happen. It is marked by the words "might," "could," and "would." Examples: If we use our time wisely, we might get to go home early. If the people use their time wisely (conditional state), they might get to go home early ("going home early" will happen). Arnie could find a better job if he visited an employment agency. If he visited an employment agency (conditional state), Arnie could find a better job ("finding" will happen).
