Verb moods worksheets

Each print is a different sheet with its own answer key. You don't need to sign up.

Mood is the job a sentence does. Indicative tells, imperative orders, interrogative asks, conditional says what would happen, and subjunctive imagines or insists.

Two grades, each its own sheet. Print one here, or open a grade for examples and teaching notes.

    Each print is a different sheet with its own answer key. You don't need to sign up.

    A verb's mood tells you what a sentence is doing. Indicative states a fact, imperative gives an order, interrogative asks a question, conditional says what would happen under some condition, and subjunctive imagines something untrue or insists that something be done. Seventh graders name the mood of a sentence and write it out.

  2. 8th grade

    Examples and teaching notes

    Eighth graders work with all five moods: indicative, imperative, interrogative, conditional, and subjunctive. The sentences are longer, and the clues are harder to spot. A reported question is still a statement, an order can open with an if-clause, and a subjunctive can hide after it is essential that. Students write the mood of each one.
