Mood and Modality in English
Abstract
The article discusses the definition of the terms “mood” and “modality” included in the terminology of English grammar. Modality and verb forms used in English grammar have almost the same meaning. The grammatical term “mood” is considered to be a variant spelling of the Latin word “modus”.
The article also comprehensively analyzes and studies the rules for the use of mood and modality in English grammar. In modern grammar, these two concepts are used almost equally. These two rules are widespread in both ancient and modern English.
In general, modality is an aspect of the descriptive force that is indicated by grammatical means and expresses the speaker’s point of view or general intention.
Keywords: modality, auxiliary verb, to present, structure, term
