Question

PLEASE HELP! Read the sentences below and determine if each sentence is in the subjunctive or the indicative mood.

Answer 1

The answer is "B".

"Subjunctive" means "relating to or denoting a mood of verbs expressing what is imagined or wished or possible".

"Indicative" means "serving as a sign or indication of something."

In sentence 1, this person says their parents "wish" they would do all their homework that weekend. (Subjunctive - what is wished will happen)

In sentence 2, this person says that there is "no doubt" that they have a lot of homework that weekend. (Indicative - a sign/indication there is in fact a lot of work)

In sentence 3, this person says "I hope" that they let me go out with my friends when I'm done with my homework. (Subjunctive - what is wished will happen)

In sentence 4, this person says but "it's not true" that they'll let me. (Subjunctive - what is imagined will happen)
