  1. Unit 3: Verb Voice & Verb Mood ELACC8L1c: Form and use verbs in the indicative, imperative, interrogative, conditional, and subjunctive mood.

  2. What is the difference between verbvoice and verb mood?

  3. Verb Voice • Verb voices are either active or passive. Active Voice = The subject performs the action. Example: Ms. Watson makes delicious sweet potato pies. The subject is doing the action.

  4. Verb Voice Passive Voice = The subject is acted upon by someone or something else. Example: Some delicious sweet potato pies are made by Ms. Watson. The subject is acted upon by Ms. Watson.

  5. Verb Mood • Verb mood is the attitude a verb conveys in a sentence. • If you change a verb’s mood, the tone of the sentence containing it will change as well. • The mood also depends on the sentence’s purpose. • There are five different types of verb moods.

  6. Indicative Mood • It is used to a make a statement. Example: Jalian needs to clean his room today. • It is the most commonly used mood, and it may be used for many purposes.

  7. Imperative Mood • It is used for commands or direct requests. Example: Jalian, clean your room today! • Imperative sentences do not need to end in exclamation points, but they often do. • Writers use this mood when they are trying to create a dramatic effect, or when they are trying to be persuasive.

  8. Subjunctive Mood • It is used to speculate or express a wish. Example: Jalian wishes he were finished cleaning his room. • Notice that in the subjunctive example, the sentence uses the plural verb were, even though it refers to a singular subject, Jalian.

  9. Conditional Mood • It expresses an action or idea that is dependent on a condition. Example: If Jalian had cleaned his room, he could have played outside. • This mood sometimes expresses hypothetical statements. For example, “If you ate fruit and vegetables, you’d be healthier.”

  10. Interrogative Mood • It is used to ask a question. Example: Have you cleaned your room yet, Jalian? • You should always end interrogative sentences with question marks.

  11. Summarizing Activity Dear Teacher • Write the teacher a brief letter explaining what you have learned about verb voice and verb moods. Turn in your letter to Ms. Watson for a grade!
