Question

Identify the mood of the verb in the following sentence:
Ram goes to school daily.

a. subjunctive mood
b. indicative mood
c. imperative mood
d. complex mood

Answer 1

Hint: The given statement is a factual sentence. It is stating something that happens on a daily basis.

Complete answer:
In grammar, mood is used to refer to a verb category or form which indicates what the verb is expressing. There are five kinds of moods - indicative, imperative, interrogative, conditional, subjunctive.
   - The indicative mood is used to express a statement of fact.
   - The imperative mood is used in commands and instructions.
   - The interrogative mood is used to ask questions.
   - The conditional mood is made from using the auxiliary ‘would’ with another verb.
   - The subjunctive mood is used to express a wish or possibility.

Now, we have all the information we need. Let’s look at our given options:
subjunctive mood - The given verb expresses neither a wish nor a possibility. So, this is an incorrect option.
indicative mood - The given verb states a fact. It is in an indicative mood. So, this is the correct option.
imperative mood - The given verb does not express a command. So, this is an incorrect option.
complex mood - This is not a correct option, as there is no such thing as a complex mood of verbs.

Note: Identify the type of the sentence given. This will help in assessing which mood the verb is in. Try to go through each option one by one, to avoid any rash decisions, and choose the correct answer accordingly.
