2 Imperative mood
Not all clauses beginning with if are contrary to fact. When an if clause indicates something that is likely to happen, use the indicative, not the subjunctive.
If I study hard [likely to happen], I will pass the test.
If his fever continues to fall [likely to happen], he will recover.
What is grammatical mood?
Grammatical mood is the form that a verb takes to show how we should understand it. In order to react to what we are hearing or reading, we have to know why a particular verb has been used. Is it a command? Is it a wish? Or is it a statement or opinion?
Understanding how to use the common three moods of verbs is a key part of communication in English - and most of the time, we don’t even realise we’re doing it! This Wiki will break down the meanings of the most common three moods of verbs, while pointing you to some helpful resources for teaching these moods to your students.
The Three Moods of Verbs
The three moods of verbs that we commonly use are the imperative, subjunctive and indicative moods. There are other kinds too, such as conditional verbs, which are ‘if’ statements that highlight if something may or may not happen - but these three form the basis of most sentences, and are useful to focus on while teaching.The indicative mood is the most common mood that we use. It's used to communicate a fact, opinion or statement. Because of this, indicative verbs can stand alone to form a sentence when matched with a suitable subject and object, like in the sentence 'We are teachers'. It’s also important to note that the interrogative mood (which is when a verb is used to form a question) is sometimes separated from this indicative mood, but many of the verb forms are the same. We all know that verbs are thought of as ‘doing words’, and the imperative mood is a kind of verb that tells us to do something. It is a command or instruction, and is often found at the beginning of a sentence because the subject is the person being spoken to. Some common examples of imperative verbs that you might hear include:

• 
  Add the flour to the bowl.
  
• 
  Go to the shops.
  
• 
  Say Cheese!
  
• 
  Please come again!
  

These kinds of verbs are meant to be snappy and clear, so they are sometimes called bossy verbs, which might help your class remember their use.
