WHAT IS MOODY VERBS?????????????

I have gone through my lesson 3 times and I still don't understand what moody verbs are. can someone explain in a simple way what it is? thx!

Answer 1

Well, verbs aren't people, so they aren't moody! But they do have what grammarians call moods.

Indicative mood -- that's when we use verbs to make statements or ask questions.

Imperative mood -- that's when we give commands

Subjunctive mood -- that's mostly used when we are writing or talking about what we wish would happen or what would happen IF something else happened -- in other words, things that aren't facts (yet).

Here's another good website for learning about verb moods:
