Declarative


These sentences would be regarded as examples of the 'declarative mood':

We always meet at the same pub.

I've never met him.

Declarative sentences express statements, but they often have other functions too:

You've left the light on. (This can mean 'Turn it off'.)

Declarative sentences typically have subject + verb word order. But sometimes there's no subject:

Don't know where he is. Probably missed his train.

- and sometimes the subject is after the verb:

Then came the prize-giving.

- or between the auxiliary and main verbs:

Rarely have I seen such incompetence.

Interrogative

These sentences would be regarded as examples of the 'interrogative mood':

When was the last time we met?

Do you want tea or coffee?

Interrogative sentences express questions, but they often have other functions too:

Do you think I'm made of money? (This can mean 'Stop asking me for money.')

What did I tell you? (This can mean 'I told you so.')

And there are other ways of asking questions:

I suppose you'd like something to eat.

I'd like to know the train times for Sunday.

In interrogative sentences, the subject is typically after the verb (if there's only one verb) or between the auxiliary and main verbs. But sometimes the order is subject + verb:

You did what?!
