Teacher Insights

|
-
Most verbs are in the indicative mood, which indicates a fact or opinion.
-
The imperative mood expresses commands or requests. The understood subject of imperative sentences is you.
-
In the interrogative mood, the form of the verb does not change. Instead, you invert the auxiliary verb and place it before the subject. The main verb comes after the subject.
-
Conditional verbs are used to create conditional sentences, which express hypothetical or unlikely situations. Conditional verbs can be used in the past, present, or future tense, and auxiliary verbs like can/could, will/would, and may/might are important in forming conditionals.
-
Examples:
-
If my cousin had been just a little taller, he could have been a basketball player.
-
If I had enough money, I would travel around the world.
-
If Alex finishes his essay, he will come over tomorrow.
-
When verbs show something contrary to fact, they are in the subjunctive mood. When you express a wish or something that is not actually true, use the past tense or past perfect tense; when using the verb to be in the subjunctive, always use were rather than was.
-
Examples:
-
If Archie were here, he would know what to do.
-
I wish I were there to eat dinner with you.
-
It would be better if you had brought your books with you.
|
Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
