1. Verb Tense:
* Indefinite Tense: This refers to the simple present and simple past tenses. These tenses describe actions that happen regularly, in the present, or at a specific point in the past.
* Example: Present: "She sings in the choir."
* Example: Past: "They went to the store."
* Definite Tense: This term is less common, but it can refer to the perfect tenses (present perfect, past perfect, future perfect) which describe actions that have a specific relationship to a particular point in time.
* Example: "She has sung in the choir for years." (Present Perfect)
2. Verb Mood:
* Indicative Mood: The indicative mood is the most common mood and is used to state facts or ask questions.
* Example: "The sun is shining."
* Imperative Mood: The imperative mood gives commands or instructions.
* Example: "Close the door."
* Subjunctive Mood: The subjunctive mood expresses wishes, doubts, or hypothetical situations.
* Example: "I wish I were taller."
* Conditional Mood: The conditional mood expresses conditions, often with "if" or "would."
* Example: "If I had the time, I would visit you."
3. Verb Transitivity:
* Transitive Verb: A transitive verb takes a direct object.
* Example: "She reads a book." (Book is the direct object)
* Intransitive Verb: An intransitive verb does not take a direct object.
* Example: "She sings."
So, to clarify your question:
* If you're thinking about a verb form that doesn't specify time, then it's likely the simple present or simple past tense.
* If you're thinking about a verb that expresses something other than a fact or question, then it's likely a mood like the subjunctive or imperative.
