Today, we’re going to focus on the many moods of the verb.

No, I don’t mean that verbs wake up cranky or get all huffy when someone criticizes them. The moods of the verb are MUCH easier to deal with than the moods of a woman.

(Men, no snarky comments. I know whereof I speak…I am woman. Plus, you don’t know my current mood since I’m behind the screen. Just tread respectfully, is all I’m sayin’.)

*singsong* Anyhoo, remember this?

Every verb has four attributes: person, number, voice, and mood.

There are two easy-peasy moods: indicative and imperative.

Indicative: most sentences fall under this heading. These babies deal with the facts.

Memory trick: A defendant cannot be indicted without facts.
