    Chapter I: General View of the Moods.

    §1. The Mood of a verb shows the manner in which the assertion of the verb is made.

    The Greek verb has four moods, properly so called,--the indicative, the subjunctive, the optative, and the imperative. The infinitive, which is a verbal noun, and the participle and the verbal in -teos, which are verbal adjectives, are so closely connected with the moods in many constructions, that they are discussed with them in Syntax.

    The four proper moods, as opposed to the infinitive, are sometimes called the finite moods. The subjunctive, optative, imperative, and infinitive, as opposed to the indicative, are sometimes called the dependent moods.
