Good job! You identified the emotions correctly! Those emotions are the representations of “mood” for people. However, in our focus for today, we are going to talk about “different” moods – the moods of the verb.
Tab of Ideas
The mood refers to the forms of the verb indicating the manner in which the action is thought or expressed.
There are five basic moods the indicative, interrogative, imperative, conditional, and subjunctive mood.
Let us try to talk about one mood at a time.

5. Tab of Ideas : Indicative
Indicative Mood
Is the usual form of the verb
States a fact
Is also known as declarative
Is used most of the time
Look at these examples:
He is an honest man.
Quezon City is the capital of the Philippines.
Last Saturday I saw Ann and her mother.
You are here to learn about moods of the verb.
We shall go home this afternoon.
The main rule in the indicative mood is to “be natural”.
Just observe subject-verb agreement (singular subject + singular verb / plural subject + plural verb) and use the correct tense of the verb.

6. Practice : Indicative
Write “Yes” if the underlined verb expresses an indicative mood.
Write “No” if the underlined verb does not express an indicative mood.
