Let’s go through each sentence one by one and figure out the mood of the highlighted verb.
---
1) Wash your hands.
→ This is a command. You’re telling someone to do something.
→ That’s
Imperative mood.
2) Did you watch the episode that was telecast last night?
→ This is a question. It starts with “Did” and asks for information.
→ That’s
Interrogative mood.
3) Please wait for Elsa.
→ Even though it says “please,” this is still giving an instruction or request — basically a polite command.
→ Still
Imperative mood.
4) Does Trevor bake delicious cakes?
→ Again, this is a question (starts with “Does”).
→ So,
Interrogative mood.
5) If you won one match, you would go on to win many.
→ This talks about a hypothetical situation (“if you won…”) and what *would* happen.
→ That’s
Conditional mood.
6) Lock the door.
→ Direct command — no question, no condition. Just telling someone to do it.
→
Imperative mood.
7) I would be happier if I were a bird.
→ The word “were” here is not past tense — it’s used in a wishful or unreal situation (“if I were…”).
→ That’s
Subjunctive mood.
8) When was the last time you came home?
→ This is asking a question — starting with “When.”
→ So,
Interrogative mood.
---
Now let’s double-check:
- Imperative = commands → #1, #3, #6
✔
- Interrogative = questions → #2, #4, #8
✔
- Conditional = “would” + hypothetical → #5
✔
- Subjunctive = unreal/wishful “were” → #7
✔
All match!
Final Answer:
1) Imperative
2) Interrogative
3) Imperative
4) Interrogative
5) Conditional
6) Imperative
7) Subjunctive
8) Interrogative
