Topic: Conditional mood


  
  Conditional mood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The conditional mood (or conditional tense) is the form of the verb used in conditional sentences to refer to a hypothetical state of affairs, or an uncertain event that is contingent on another set of circumstances.
The conditional mood is thus similar to the subjunctive mood, although languages that have distinct verb forms for the two use them in distinct ways.
In English, the conditional mood is a compound verb form consisting of the modal auxiliary verb would (or could, might, should) and the infinitive form of the main verb.

This is a clear statement with respect to the nature of salvation: it is conditional, personal, universal, and in the middle voice, which shows that if they are saved they must act (middle voice).
The conditional nature, hidden by a wrong translation, is shown by the mood, and the activity of the subject is noted in the middle voice—a deathblow to the Five Points.
We deny categorically that the force of the subjunctive mood may be negated in John 3:16 and context, or here.

In expressing a conditional situation, we must be able to distinguish between what is a factual statement and what is a hypothetical statement.
In this last sentence, note the conditional clause in the past perfect (had known) and the result clause that uses the conditional modal + have + the past participle of the main verb (would have baked).
The following tables divide the uses of the conditional into three types, according to the time expressed in the if clause: (1) true in the present or future or possibly true in the future; (2) untrue or contrary to fact in the present; or (3) untrue or contrary to fact in the past.

 The Subjunctive Mood
An indicative verb makes a statement that is factual, whereas a verb in the subjunctive mood is used to indicate a situation or condition that is hypothetical, doubtful, or conditional.
In the indicative mood, we would never write "Harrison were," "I were," "report were," "trip be," or "he submit," but these verbs are correct in the examples above because each of the sentences is written in the subjunctive mood; that is, in every case, the sentence is describing a situation that is hypothetical or conditional:
For all verbs except to be, the present subjunctive mood is most often made by omitting the characteristic s ending on verbs with third-person singular subjects.

 ELI Grammar Hotline -- Verb Mood
With the verb “to be” the correct form is “were” for both singular and plural subjects in conditional sentences that have a contrary-to-fact situation.
In English, we indicate that condition events (usually found in an if-clause) are not true or do not match reality by casting the verb into the past or past perfect tense.
What it boils down to is something that linguists and grammarians call "mood." In the first sentence, the verb "were" is being used to express the notion that the embedded clause is not true in reality, but that the speaker has a desire for it to be true.

To conjugate a verb means to "inflect (a verb) in its forms for distinctions such as number, person, voice, mood, and tense." That's the technical definition, anyway.
When we conjugate an English verb, we typically examine that verb in four different grammatical moods: the indicative mood, the conditional mood, the conjunctive mood (also known as the subjunctive mood), and the imperative mood.
The conditional mood is concerned with events involving a doubt or lack of certainty.
