Question

Identify the sentence in the imperative mood:

• A. Will you take a holiday?
• B. You must take a holiday.
• C. Holidays should be taken.
• D. Take a holiday.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Take a holiday.

The imperative mood is used to express a command, exhortation, prayer or request. Thus, according to the definition, Option D expresses imperative mood as a command. It uses the second person (plural or singular) with an unspoken "you" for the subject. Thus, according to the rules, the other remaining options are incorrect.

Option A expresses interrogative mood.

Option B uses 'you', which is usually unspoken in an imperative mood as command.

Option C expresses indicative mood.
