……………….. (1935), Gurme G.O. (1931) classify three forms 
of mood: Indicative, Imperative and Subjunctive. Sweet H. A. (1892),

mood: 1. Indicative (The sun rises in the East. She will translate this 
book), 2. Imperative (Read the letter; Be silent). 3. Subjunctive1 (I 
suggest that he go there; If it be so). (A.I.Smirnitsky says that in 
Subjunctive1 there is no meaning of impossibility). 4. Subjunctive2 
(If I had time I would have come). …………… says that in 
Subjunctive2 negative meaning is expressed; in the example above 
given by A.I. Smirnitsky: the speaker didn’t have time to perform the 
action). 5. ……………. (Should you meet him, tell him to come: in this 
form of the mood he considers improbable supposition). 6. Conditional 
(What would you answer if you were asked: A.I. Smirnitsky differs 
………. mood from Subjunctive2 saying that in conditional mood 
unreality is depended on non-real conditions, while in Subjunctive2 
unreality is supposed from the starting –point, it is not depended on 
anything). 
In this manual we consider it to be desirable to suggest …….. of 
mood as the majority of grammarians do: Indicative, Imperative, 
Subjunctive. Conditional, Potential, Subjunctive1 and Subjunctive 2 are 
included in the Subjunctive Mood expressing ……….. depended on the 
existed conditions: non-real action not depended on existed conditions 
and the Subjunctive Mood expressing an emotional attitude of the 
speaker to real facts: It is strange I should never have heard him even 
mention your name (………).
