Exercise 122—Mode
Mode is the form of the verb that indicates the manner of expressing the thought. The modes, or moods, that every one should be able to distinguish are the indicative and the subjunctive. If the verb indicates a fact, we say it is in the indicative mode; if it expresses a supposition, a doubt, a statement contrary to fact, or a wish, we say it is in the subjunctive mode.
| You are good. | (A fact—indicative.) |
| I wish I were good. | (Contrary to fact, a wish—subjunctive.) |
