Hyper Link : Mast-EAR Piece Get the CD entitled “If I were a boy” from your facilitator. Listen to the song twice. The first round of the listening task should focus on appreciation. So just relax while listening to the song. Now, for the second round, I want you to observe the verbs in the song. What mood of the verb is dominant in the song? Do you know what is a mood? Let us see how far do you know about the moods of the verb. See next page for an activity.

Tab of Ideas : Eye Know Look at these icons, what is the emotion shown by each? Write your answer on the space provided. Check your work using the key on the next page.

Eye Know : Key The icons show an in love, a shocked, and a happy face. Good job! You identified the emotions correctly! Those emotions are the representations of “mood” for people. However, in our focus for today, we are going to talk about “different” moods – the moods of the verb. Tab of Ideas The mood refers to the forms of the verb indicating the manner in which the action is thought or expressed. There are three basic moods the indicative, imperative, and subjunctive mood. Let us try to talk about one mood at a time.

Tab of Ideas : Indicative ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],The main rule in the indicative mood is to “be natural”. Just observe subject-verb agreement (singular subject + singular verb / plural subject + plural verb) and use the correct tense of the verb.

Tab of Ideas : Imperative ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Keep in mind that when you are using the imperative mood, you do not need to include the subject. For instance, (You) please answer the phone. It is always understood that when you use the imperative mood, you are referring to one an addressee (you).

An if-clause is sometimes in the subjunctive mood. The present tendency, however, is toward the use of indicative mood. For instance, If she is thinner, she will be lovelier. If she is guilty, she must suffer the consequences.

Tab of Ideas : Subjunctive ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],After the word/s even though, if, as if, as though were is used instead of was if the possibility is highly improbable. Use is or was if you are considering a genuine possibility. Remember to use the base form of the verb.

Tab of Ideas : Subjunctive ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Verb forms in the subjunctive mood make no distinction between singular and plural.

Mast-EAR Piece Now that you are done with the review, let us go back to our question a while ago: What mood of the verb is predominant in the song “If I were a Boy”? If your answer is subjunctive mood, you got it right! Do you have other questions about the moods of the verbs? If yes, you may review the Tab of Ideas. If none, see next page for your next challenge. Good luck! 
