Overview:

Verbal moods indicate a state of being or reality. There are several types: indicative, the most common where the state of being is a pure fact; interrogative, which asks a question; and imperative, which is a command. It is important to remember that it is not the verb that determines the mood but the way it's used in the sentence. This resource provides instruction and practice with forming and using verbs in context in the indicative, imperative, interrogative, conditional, and subjunctive moods.
