The correct definition of verb mood is:

1. the purpose of a sentence, expressed through the verb.

Verb mood refers to the attitude of the speaker toward the action or state of being expressed by the verb. It conveys whether the action is a statement of fact (indicative mood), a command (imperative mood), a wish or hypothetical (subjunctive mood), etc.
