mood

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Email

is a term in grammar that identifies utterances as being statements, expressions of wish, commands, questions, etc. It is a variant of the word mode, and has nothing to do with the more familiar word mood. In English, moods are expressed by means of an auxiliary verb (can, may, etc.) called a modal verb, or by the subjunctive mood.
