IMPERATIVE MOOD
Imperative (no subject or finite) Lacks mood elements Imperative mood expresses commands to or requests of the person addressed.
We use the imperative mood to make a Command or request.
![Page 20: Mood structure](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022011721/58a997891a28abc2518b521d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
ONE WORD IMPERATIVE STATEMENT The imperative mood in English usually occurs in the second person. The second person subject pronoun, “you” is not used but is implied.
In the simplest sense ,we can form a strong imperative statement using just one word.
For ex: Take!, Eat! , Work! , Leave! etc.
![Page 21: Mood structure](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022011721/58a997891a28abc2518b521d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
PHRASAL VERB IMPERATIVE STATEMENT It is very common to see a phrasal verb with a particle.
For ex: “ Come in” “ Sit down” “ Get up”
![Page 22: Mood structure](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022011721/58a997891a28abc2518b521d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
IMPERATIVE STATEMENTS
An imperative statement can use other words.
For ex: “ Give me the book” “ Look at him “ “ Take off your coat “

BARE IMPERATIVE
We can make the imperative statement milder by using the word polite terms, called bare imperative.
For ex: Please, sit down Pass me this plate, Please Can make imperative statements by using the name of the person.
For ex: Read this report , Bill
Mary, bring me a cup of coffee

IMPERATIVE MOOD TO FORM PROHIBITION It is common to use the imperative mood to form a prohibition using the negative auxiliary “Don’t “.
For ex: Don’t drive so fast. Don’t tell them our secret. Don’t do that.
![Page 25: Mood structure](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022011721/58a997891a28abc2518b521d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
INDICATIVE MOOD:
We use the indicative mood to express a fact, to deny a fact or to ask a question.
The majority of the statements that are made in English are in the indicative mood.
Indicative means "stating a fact."
![Page 26: Mood structure](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022011721/58a997891a28abc2518b521d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

This form is usually in the affirmative simple present and simple past tenses using the auxiliaries do, does, did.

DECLARATIVE CLAUSE:
•A declarative clause states an idea or provides information. It
does not give a command, nor does it ask a question, and it ends in a period.
according to speech role, declarative clause is giving of information (statement).
A declarative clause has two elements in the order of subject^finite.

yes/no interrogatives are marked by the order Finite^Subject and ask the listener to specify the polarity of the message
E.g. did you take her calculator?

FIRST THING FIRST…
How can a verb have a “mood”?According to Troyka and Hesse, “Mood in verbs conveys an attitude toward the action in a sentence.”
In English, there are three moods: Indicative, Imperative, and Subjunctive.

THE SUBJUNCTIVE MOOD IN IF, AS IF, AS THOUGH, & UNLESS CLAUSES Used as Dependent Clauses
A dependent clause contains a subject and a predicate but can’t stand alone as a sentence. Usually adverb or adjective clauses.
Describes speculations or conditions contrary to fact. Examples:

MODAL AUXILIARY VERBS IN THE SUBJUNCTIVE (OR HELPING VERBS) Modal Auxiliary Verbs: would, could, might, & should.
These words can convey speculation and therefore are used in the Subjunctive Mood. Examples: If I were a little bit taller, I would be a baller. She might lie to my face, as if I were nothing.
NOTE: Do NOT use a modal auxiliary verb in both the dependent and independent clause.
