This week in class we took notes on indicative, imperative and emphatic moods. We wrote: verb forms also indicate mood. The four moods are indicative, imperative, emphatic, and subjunctive. The indicative mood is the form of a verb that is used to state a fact, or ask a question, two examples of this are: I took a kayaking class. The indicative verb in this sentence is took. Have you ever tried kayaking? Have and tried are the indicative verbs in this sentence. The imperative mood is the form of a verb used to give commands (the subject is almost always in second person; you). two examples of the imperative mood are: Follow all safety rules. Follow is the imperative verb in this sentence. Do not forget your water bottle. Do and forget are the imperative verbs in this sentence. The emphatic mood is the form of the verb that gives special force to a simple present or past tense verb (add do/does; did). Two examples of emphatic mood are The Great Barrier Reef does interest me. The emphatic verbs in this sentence are does and interest. I did take the dog for a walk. The emphatic verbs in this sentence are did and take. After we took this notes on indicative, imperative and emphatic moods we practiced. Our teacher showed us a book with examples and we had to answer the examples.
