are used in combination with the notional verbs in the required 
form of tense, number and person to form the analytical form of the 
mood; these are mood auxiliaries which are devoid of their lexical 
meaning in this function and equal to flexions expressing grammatical 
meaning. 
Yespersen Otto (1935), Gurme G.O.(1931) classify three forms of 
mood: Indicative, Imperative and Subjunctive; Sweet H. A.( 1892),
classifies five forms of mood: Indicative, Subjunctive, Conditional, 
Permissive and Compulsive. Smirnitsky A.I. classifies six forms of 
mood:
