    The term grammatical mood refers to the use of verbs and different verb forms to indicate

    (show) the purpose of a sentence. The grammatical mood of a sentence is defined according to
    its purpose. The use of verbs can show whether the sentence intends to express a fact
    (declarative mood), an emotion (exclamative mood), a command (imperative mood), or ask a
    question (interrogative mood). We can adapt verbs to show the grammatical mood with the
    help of inflections (a change in the word form, e.g. adding '-s' or '-ed') and
    auxiliary verbs (these are helping verbs, e.g. did, has, was, were, is).

    First and foremost, referring to the text entitled The Pearl, interrogative mood can be clearly
    seen in the sentences. The interrogative mood is used for asking questions. The interrogative
    mood has a recognisable form that shows the sentence is a question. To form a question, we
    don't change the main verb of the sentence like we do in some other moods. Instead, we use an
    auxiliary verb along with the main verb and place it before the subject of the sentence. For
    example, if we take the sentence 'Molly likes swimming', we can form the interrogative by using
    the auxiliary verb 'does' and placing it before the subject (Molly). This forms the interrogative
    sentence 'Does Molly like swimming?'.

    Secondly, declarative sentence mood. This mood occurs when a speaker makes a declaration or
    claim. The declarative mood is used when the speaker wishes to express something they believe
    to be true, such as a factual statement, an opinion, or a factchecking question. Because of this,
    we typically use this mood when making declarative sentences.

    Moreover, the imperative mood is used for expressing commands and instructions.

    The imperative mood shows that the speaker wants something to happen or someone else

    to do something. These can be in the form of friendly advice, basic instructions or more

    forceful commands. Many imperative sentences end in periods, but some of the more

    forceful demands may end in an exclamation point to highlight the emotion.

    An exclamatory sentence is one that expresses sudden or strong emotions and feelings. An
    exclamatory sentence is defined as “a sentence containing an exclamation or strong emphasis”,’
    and also regarded as “ a sharp or sudden utterance” or a “vehement expression of protest or
    complaint. Exclamatory sentences usually begin with exclamatory pronouns like ‘how’ or ‘what’
    to give emphasis on the noun or object in the sentence. For example: What a calm place!
    Exclamatory sentences normally end with an exclamation mark, which is a specific punctuation
    mark to give emphasis on a feeling or emotion. For example: That is extremely rude!
