What is mood in English language?

Answer 1

Mood (sometimes called "mode") is a grammatical characteristic of English verbs that expresses a speaker's or writer's feeling of a particular kind about the verb in the sentence in which the verb occurs. "Indicative" is much the most common mood, because it is used for assertions of fact or alleged fact. "Imperative" mood expresses commands to or requests of the person addressed. "Subjunctive" mood expresses allegations or possibilities that the speaker or writer believes may be true but does not state as a fact, or allegations known to the speaker or writer to be untrue and not expected to be believed by the hearer or reader but stated for contrast or illustration.
