Answer 1

This is correct! Verb mood refers to the way in which a verb expresses the speaker's attitude towards a particular situation or action. Common verb moods include indicative (stating a fact or asking a question), imperative (giving a command or request), subjunctive (expressing a hypothetical or uncertain situation), and conditional (expressing a hypothetical or uncertain situation dependent on a certain condition).
