Moods
Mood or modality is about how the speaker relates to what is being said. English four moods that are being used these days. They are:
 * Indicative indicates an assertion ("the house is red"), a question ("is that your car?") or denial ("I did not do that").
 * Imperative indicates a command ("paint that house!"), an advice ("Bring a spare coat!") etc.
 * Subjunctive is used in a variety of cases such as "If I were a millionaire I would buy a house".
 * Infinitive mood is used in dictionaries: "to eat".
