Lesson Overview
About this worksheet
The mood of a verb shows how a sentence is meant. Indicative states a fact, imperative gives a command or request, interrogative asks a question, and conditional shows that one thing depends on another (often with if, would, or could). This worksheet helps students recognize each mood and use it on purpose.
Section A on page 1 gives eight sentences and asks students to label each one indicative, imperative, interrogative, or conditional. The reference box teaches the four moods with clean-your-room examples that are not reused in any item.
Section B on page 2 asks students what mood shows, how imperative differs from interrogative, and to write an imperative and a conditional sentence of their own. Page 3 is a complete answer key with sample answers. The skill builds toward purposeful sentence writing.
How to Use This Lesson
Read the reference box aloud and match each room example to its mood.
Complete Section A independently – have students ask ‘fact, command, question, or condition?’
Work Section B item 11 together: write a sentence in the imperative mood.
Use the answer key on page 3 for self-check; Section B answers will vary.
Pair with the Sentence Types Worksheet or the Modal Verbs Worksheet.
