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).
