Question

Which explains a verb mood

A. It is how a verb is used to ask a question
B. It is how a verb is used to state a fact
C. It is how a verb is used to make a command
D. It is how a verb is used to express a thought

Answer 1

A verb mood indicates the attitude of the speaker toward the action or state of being of the verb. The main moods in English are the indicative, imperative, and subjunctive.

- **Indicative mood** expresses a statement of fact (B).
- **Imperative mood** is used to give commands (C).
- **Subjunctive mood** can express wishes, hypotheticals, or conditions contrary to fact (D).

So, the best option that explains the function of verb mood overall is:

**A. It is how a verb is used to ask a question.**

However, if you are seeking to summarize moods more broadly, none of the options comprehensively cover all moods. But "B" also accurately describes a specific use of mood. If the focus is solely on the question, then "A" is appropriate.
