Lesson Excerpt:
We know that verbs are probably the most important part of speech. Without a verb there is no sentence. Verbs tell us about the subjects of sentences – what they are doing or how they are feeling. The tense of the verb tells us whether the action or feeling happened in the past, is happening in the present or will happen in the future. In English, verbs also indicate the mood of the sentence. The mood refers to the attitude of the speaker or writer. Most sentences are written in the indicative mood which is used to make statements or inquiries. The next most common mood is the imperative mood.
