Indicative Mood
Mood is the form a verb takes to show the manner in which it
is to be regarded (e.g., as a fact, a
command, a wish, an uncertainty).
A verb used to make a statement or ask a question is said to
be in the "indicative mood". The vast majority of sentences
are in the indicative mood.
Examples:
The sky is
clear tonight.
She is not
content with the outcome.
The aliens
could not breathe our air.
Is that a
whelk?
