Write 1–2 sentences in which you define the imperative verb mood, including a sentence using the imperative mood
The imperative mood is used to make requests, commands or give orders. It usually does not show any indication of time, let's say an example "Listen to me attentively".
Write 1–2 sentences in which you explain the use of verbs in the conditional mood.
The conditional mood is used to talk about hypothetical or possible situations in different tenses. It is also used to express polite requests, wishes or regrets.
Write 1–2 sentences in which you explain the use of verbs in the subjunctive mood.(2 points)
The subjunctive mood is used to express suggestions, wishes, doubts, possibilities or hypothetical situations. These verbs do not follow the same conjugation pattern as those in the indicative or imperative mood.
Write a sentence using a verb in the interrogative mood and then explain why the sentence is in that mood
"Are you paying attention to me?" is a sentence using a verb in the interrogative mood because the verb 'are' is seeking information or posing a question about an action in progress(the subject is paying attention to the speaker).
Talk to them, and you should tell them the truth.
In 1–2 sentences, identify the shift in mood and rewrite the sentence correctly.
(2 points)
The sentence starts with an imperative mood by commanding someone to talk to a group of individuals, and it shifts to a modal verb 'should' which is used in an indicative mood to suggest. The sentence can be rewritten as "Talk to them, and tell them the truth." to get rid of the shift in mood.
In a paragraph of 3–5 sentences, first write a sentence that uses a shift in voice. Then explain why the shift is incorrect. Finally, write a sentence that corrects the shift.
Original Sentence: We were visited by our grandparents during the weekend, and a meal was cooked by them.
The Shift in voice occurs in the second clause of the sentence where the subject who prepares the meal has been changed from grandparents to an unidentified entity(who). The shift is incorrect because the subject in the sentence should be consistent. The corrected sentence may read: "Our grandparents visited us during the weekend and cooked a meal for us."
