What is mood?
mood refers to the speaker’s attitude or the manner of expression.
Definition:
The subjunctive mood is used to express conditional or imaginary situations, meaning scenarios that are doubtful, hypothetical, or otherwise run contrary to fact.
Within this, there are two main categories for the subjunctive mood:
1. commands/suggestions (with a command verb + “that”),
2. hypotheticals/wishes (with “were”).
Category 1: Suggestions, Demands, and Necessity (With “That”)
The subjunctive mood is used to express suggestions and recommendations with the word “that”.
Format of this category:
Demand/Request/Recommend word + that + subject + subject verb
Quote:
Category 2: Hypotheticals and Wishes (With “Were”)
The subjunctive is also used to express hypotheticals, situations that are contrary to fact, and situations that are unlikely to come true. This usage employs “were,” and then sometimes “would”
