Verb Moods Aligns with CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.8.1.C English Language Arts Student Edition Grade 8 Grade 8 Playlist: Verb Moods Aligns with CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.8.1.C: • Form and use verbs in the indicative, imperative, interrogative, conditional, and subjunctive mood. Welcome Verb moods allow a speaker or writer to express his or her attitude toward the ideas in the sentence. The English language has five moods: indicative, imperative, interrogative, conditional, and subjunctive. Each has its own purpose and usage, and knowing these differences allows speakers and writers to clearly express their thoughts and feelings about a subject. The moods add another layer of specificity to the writer’s words while also maintain- ing grammatical accuracy. Objectives In this playlist, students will learn how to: • form and use verbs in the indicative, imperative, interrogative, conditional, and subjunctive mood. • understand how these verb moods operate within sentences. Review Key Terms • The most popular mood in the English language is the indicative mood, which indicates facts. For example: A dog sits on the porch. • The imperative mood states a command or request. In most cases, the subject is an implied “you.” For example: Go to the store. (You go to the store.) • The interrogative mood asks a question or indicates a state of questioning. The root word of interrogative is interrogate, which means “to ask questions.” For example: Is she having fun? • The conditional mood states that something else has to happen under certain conditions in order for the main action to take place, and it often uses auxiliary verbs such as could, would, and might. Most writers use the conditional mood to express uncertainty. For example: The baby might cry if you pick him up. • The subjunctive mood indicates a hypothetical situation that is contrary to reality, or imaginary. The situation could be a wish, a desire, a preference, or indirect commands, suggestions, or requests. For example:PREVIEW If I were President, I would strive for world peace. • A shift in mood indicates a sentence that uses more than one mood. For example: Wash your hands if you want to sit down for dinner. The sentence starts with an imperative phrase followed by a conditional mood. 1 of 5 Wisewire Copyright © 2016. All rights reserved. English Language Arts Student Edition Grade 8 Watch! Watch this video for a brief introduction to the five moods: • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzhxZJgSA2Q Exploring the Standard Most students are already acquainted with these types of sentences, having used them in speech and writing for quite some time. But it is important to understand how these moods function within sentences in order to clearly present the attitude toward the thought or action that the writer wishes to convey. These choices influence or specify other important aspects of sentences, such as time, voice, and tone, while also contributing to sentence variety, which adds interest and clarity. Essentially, these moods are part of the building blocks that make up the English language and provide speakers and writers a wide range of ways in which they can express themselves. A Closer Look: Recognizing the Differences Between the Moods Readers can recognize the differences between the moods by reading sentences that concern the same type of subject but are in different moods. When considering which mood is most appropriate to use, the writer must also decide which mood most clearly states or expresses his or her attitude. Read the examples in the following chart. Mood Example Explanation indicative The woman is driving the car. The writer is describing the action that is taking place in the present moment, which is a fact of the current reality. imperative Drive the car. The writer gives a command that tells the implied “you” to drive the car. interrogative Will you drive the car? The writer asks a question that asks the defined “you” to drive the car. conditional If she rented a car, she could pick The condition of having a ride relies on the subject, us up. “she,” renting a car, which either could or could not happen, or either is or is not possible. subjunctive If I were five years old again, Using “if I were” indicates that the writer is not I would play with toy cars all day. currently five years old. The mood also indicates that there is an absolute certainty that the writer will never be five years old again, but in an imaginary or hypothetical world, he or she would like to, or prefer PREVIEWto, play with toy cars all day. 2 of 5 Wisewire Copyright © 2016.

  • Lesson-10 in Sanskrit, Verbs Are Associated with Ten Different
    -------------- Lesson-10 General introduction to the tenses. In Sanskrit, verbs are associated with ten different forms of usage. Of these six relate to the tenses and four relate to moods. We shall examine the usages now. Six tenses are identified as follows. The tenses directly relate to the time associated with the activity specified in the verb, i.e., whether the activity referred to in the verb is taking place now or has it happened already or if it will happen or going to happen etc. Present tense: vtIman kal: There is only one form for the present tense. Past tense: B¥t kal: Past tense has three forms associated with it. 1. Expressing something that had happened sometime in the recent past, typically last few days. 2. Expressing something that might have just happened, typically in the earlier part of the day. 3. Expressing something that had happened in the distant past about which we may not have much or any knowledge. Future tense: B¢vÝyt- kal: Future tense has two forms associated with it. 1. Expressing something that is certainly going to happen. 2. Expressing something that is likely to happen. ------Verb forms not associated with time. There are four forms of the verb which do not relate to any time. These forms are called "moods" in the English language. English grammar specifies three moods which are, Indicative mood, Imperative mood and the Subjunctive mood. In Sanskrit primers one sees a reference to four moods with a slightly different nomenclature. These are, Imperative mood, potential mood, conditional mood and benedictive mood.

  • Conditional Mood
    Conditional mood Certainly, Conditional Mood used in sentences that express condition (Conditional Sentences), but besides Conditional Mood condition can be expressed, and other forms of the verb. The following table shows the use of various forms of mood in expressing conditions. Table «Four Types of Condition (four types of conditions)». Type of Condition (condition type). Subordinate clause (subordinate clause). Main clause (main purpose). 1. Real (real). Indicative Mood. Indicative / Imperative Mood. eg If I meet her Conditional and Subjunctive Mood Examples in Proverbs, Quotations and Rhymes. 1. Comment on the use of the Conditional Mood in complex sentences expressing unreal condition in the following proverbs and sayings. If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. If there were no clouds, we should not enjoy the sun. Subjunctive mood may express suppositional or desirable action. 1. The verb to be has in present tense the form be for all singular and plural persons. The verb to be in the past tense has the form were for singular and plural persons (I be, I were respectively). 2. Forms be or were are used for formation of Present and Past Subjunctive mood in Passive voice (I be sent, I were sent respectively). Conditional sentences are closely connected with subjunctive (conditional) mood. There are three types of conditional sentences. The conditional mood (abbreviated. cond) is a grammatical mood used to express a proposition whose validity is dependent on some condition, possibly counterfactual. It thus refers to a distinct verb form that expresses a hypothetical state of affairs, or an uncertain event, that is contingent on another set of circumstances.

  • An Elementary Pali Course
    NŒrada Thera TO MY VENERABLE TEACHER PELENE SIRI VAJIRAA MHA NYAKA THERA PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION The word PŒÂi means "the Text", though it has now come to be the name of a language. MŒgadhi was the original name for PŒÂi. It was the language current in the land of Magadha during the time of the Buddha (6th century B.C.). Suddha MŒgadh´, the pure form of the provincial dialect, was what the Buddha used as His medium of instruction. The elements of PŒÂi can be mastered in a few months, PŒÂi opens one's ears to the Dhamma and the music of the Buddha's speech. It is also a lingua franca in Buddhist countries, and therefore worth acquiring. This slender volume is intended to serve as an elementary guide for beginners. With its aid one may be able to get an introduction to the PŒÂi language within a short period. I have to express my deep indebtedness to my Venerable Teacher, Pelene Siri Vajira– Œna MahŒ NŒyaka TherapŒda, who introduced me to this sacred language. Words cannot indicate how much I owe to his unfailing care and sympathy. My thanks are due to the Venerable NyŒnatiloka Thera, for his valued assistance. NRADA October, 1952.

  • Bhatt-Pancheva-Cond.Pdf
    Conditionals Rajesh Bhatt, Roumyana Pancheva [email protected], [email protected] 1 Overview This contribution provides a survey of the major issues in the syntax of con- ditionals. We present and critically evaluate the findings in the literature per- taining to conditional structures. We furthermore advance a particular view, not articulated in its entirety before, namely that conditional clauses (e.g., if- clauses) are essentially free relatives of possible worlds. Similarly to the more familiar instances of free relatives of individuals, conditional clauses (i) likely involve clause-internal operator-movement to Spec, CP; (ii) they receive the interpretation of definite descriptions; and (iii) they may participate in correl- ative structures as happens in the subcase of conditionals with the proform then. Conditional structures involve an adverbial clause, often referred to as the CONDITIONAL CLAUSE, ANTECEDENT or PROTASIS (the underlined constituent in (1)), and a main clause, known as the CONSEQUENT or APODOSIS. Con- ditional structures are interpreted, in general terms, with the proposition ex- pressed by the antecedent clause specifying the (modal) circumstances in which the proposition expressed by the main clause is true. Thus, (1) states that the possible worlds/situations in which Andrea arrives late (the denotation of the conditional clause) are possible worlds/situations in which Clara gets upset (the denotation of the main clause). (1) If Andrea arrives late, Clara will get upset. Conditionals as in (1) are known as HYPOTHETICAL CONDITIONALS. They are the most common kind of conditional structures discussed in the literature, and consequently, our contribution will mostly focus on them. Other types of conditionals exist as well, notably RELEVANCE CONDITIONALS, as illustrated in (2): (2) If you are thirsty, there is beer in the fridge.

  • 8Th Grade ELA Benchmark Review: Verb Mood
    8th Grade ELA Benchmark Review: Verb Mood Verb moods are classifications that indicate the attitude of the speaker. Verbs have five moods— indicative, interrogative, imperative, subjunctive, and conditional. Indicative mood is used to express facts/opinions Ex. I want to see a movie this weekend. Imperative mood is used to make requests or give commands Ex. Do not talk during the movie! Interrogative mood is used to ask questions Ex. Do you know when the movie starts? Subjunctive mood is used to express unreal/imaginary/hypothetical conditions, importance, urgency, wishes, or desire. The subjunctive is usually found in complex sentences. Subjunctive Rule 1 The subjunctive is generally used with “If” to express a wish, a want, or desire. Examples: 1. Oh, if that were only true! 2. If only I had a million dollars! Notice, this is JUST a wish. It is not showing cause and effect. Subjunctive Rule 2 The subjunctive is usually used with “that” when expressing importance, wishes, or urgency. Examples: 1. It is urgent that you take cover during a tornado. 2. I wish that I were in Paris! 3. I suggest that you stop talking. 4. It is important that you study. Subjunctive Rule 3 Remember that the word “that” can be implied (or invisible). • Our teacher insists we do our homework. This sentence is really the same as: • Our teacher insists that we do our homework. Examples 1. It is urgent we evacuate during a fire. 2. I suggest you study for the test. *Conditional Mood—Will not be counted on the test. • Conditional mood is a form of subjunctive which is created with could or would.

  • A Comprehensive Study on Sinhala and English Verbs
    International Journal on Studies in English Language and Literature (IJSELL) Volume 6, Issue 9, September 2018, PP 43-57 ISSN 2347-3126 (Print) & ISSN 2347-3134 (Online) http://dx.doi.org/10.20431/2347-3134.0609006 www.arcjournals.org A Comprehensive Study on Sinhala and English Verbs A.B.I.K.Premasiri* Sri Lanka Institute of Advanced Technological Education (SLIATE), Srilanka *Corresponding Author: A.B.I.K.Premasiri, Sri Lanka Institute of Advanced Technological Education (SLIATE), Srilanka Abstract: This study examines the similar and dissimilar aspects of Sinhala and English verbs. Sinhala is a diglossic language: having a separate written and spoken variety. In the study spoken or the colloquial Sinhala language has been used to make the comparison of the verbs of the two languages. In English much difference between the spoken and the written variety cannot be seen. The research was carried out with the idea in mind that there should be some similarities of these two languages since both the two languages belong to the same language family: Indo- European. When started to research on the two languages it was found that studying about a language is a vast area of study. So, the area was narrowed down to the verbs of the Sinhala and English language. Verbs of the two languages have been compared with the main focus on their voice, tense, aspect and mood. The data and findings under these four categories have been presented and analyzed. An introduction on various other types of verbal categories of the two languages has been presented for the reader to be aware of the basics of the verbs of Sinhala and English language.

  • Habere 'Have' in the Imperfect Indicative
    Extensions and Conclusions 135 the subjunctive does not appear to mean what it means in independent clauses, we can explain the difference as a result of the effects of con­ text. The subjunctive has other uses in French, and its range is in fact quite similar to the English subjunctive's earlier range. It occurs in noun clauses after impersonal verbs expressing necessity, compulsion, a suitability, possibility, doubt, and emotion, and it occurs in adverbial s clauses after conjunctions expressing purpose, time limit, and conces­ t sion. In some of these uses modality is clearly practical. In others, mo­ J dality may seem doubtful since a theoretical mood would seem equally a appropriate, but the doubtful cases do not entail that the subjunctive does not or does not always signify practical modality. In French, as in English, mood is obligatory, and one mood or another must be chosen, ~ whether it is fully appropriate or not. That the notion 'practical' is ob­ s scured in some uses is again attributable to context. n The French indicative and imperative are sufficiently like the English g indicative and imperative semantically that I will assume without fur­ ther argument that they can be described in accordance with the theory e of two modalities. The indicative signifies theoretical modality and nothing else. The imperative signifies practical modality and that the state of affairs represented is for the addressee to bring about. It is also syntactically restricted, as is the English imperative, though it allows first person plural subjects. n The French conditional mood is remarkably like the English peri­ d phrastic construction of would (or should) and the infinitive.
