Mood of Verbs in both Arabic and English Languages: A Contrastive study
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this research the notion of mood in both Arabic and English has been tackled . In English there are five types of mood: the indicative, the imperative, the interrogative, the conditional, and the subjunctive mood. Since ‘mood’ is related especially to syntax, five basic English grammatical notions: tense, aspect, mood, modality, and case are discussed to solve the ambiguity account the students in differentiating among these concepts. Arabic language has three basic moods in relation to the imperfect: the indicative, the subjunctive, and the jussive mood.
