(3) The usage of subjunctive mood.

What is a MOOD?

mood?= a way to express the attitude of the speaker to what is being said.?

There are three moods in English, indicative mood, imperative mood and subjunctive mood

Indicative Mood

Indicative?means "stating a fact."

The?indicative mood?is a category of?verb?forms that we use to state facts.?

Examples:

?"Joe?plays?outside." (The speaker thinks it's a fact.)

?"It?will rain?soon." (The speaker thinks it's a fact.)

?"She?was studying?all day long." (The speaker thinks it's a fact.)

The indicative mood is the basic mood of?verbs in English.

Imperative Mood

Imperative?means "expressing an order."

The?imperative mood?is a category of verb forms that we use to express orders, instructions,?commands or requests.

Examples:?

?"Go?outside!" (This is a command.)

?"Close?the door, please." (This is a request.)

?"Don't move?the object."?(This is an instruction.)

Subjunctive Mood

The?subjunctive mood?is a category of verb forms that we use to express things that are not facts: wishes, possibilities, commands, doubts, suggestions, etc. or conditions that are contrary to facts, or simply imaginary situations.

The form of a verb in the subjunctive mood may differ from the form with the same subject which is not in the subjunctive mood. For example:

?"I?would do?it if I?had?the time." (It is not a fact. It depends on me having the time.)

?"If he?had worked?harder, he?would have completed?the task on time." (He didn't work harder, so he didn't complete the task on time.)

?"If I?were?you, I?would?accept the offer."? (I am not you. This is an unreal condition in my mind.)
