Question: 1 / 400

Which sentence is an example of an imperative mood?

They are going to the ball game

I wish that he would go to the ball game

Go to the ball game

The sentence "Go to the ball game" exemplifies the imperative mood, which is used to issue commands, requests, or instructions. In this case, the statement directs someone to take action—specifically, to attend the ball game. Imperative sentences often use the base form of the verb without a subject, as the subject (you) is understood.

In contrast, the other sentences convey different moods or structures. The first sentence provides information about a future event, operating in the declarative mood. The second expresses a wish or desire, which indicates a subjunctive or conditional mood. The fourth sentence also makes a statement about the state of the boat, categorizing it as declarative as well. Thus, the focus on issuing a command clearly distinguishes the imperative mood of the correct response.
