Interrogative Mood

The interrogative mood is a grammatical way to form questions. It indicates that the speaker is seeking information or clarification. In English, this often involves changing the word order, such as starting a sentence with auxiliary verbs like "are," "do," or "can," or adding question words like "who," "what," "where," "when," "why," or "how." For example, the statement "You are happy" becomes a question in the interrogative mood: "Are you happy?" This mood helps communicate curiosity or inquiry and is essential for engaging in conversations and gathering information.
