* Today there is no universally accepted classification of verbal mood forms. Scholars distinguish syntactical (If I were you ...) and analytical (I would stay...) moods, past and present moods (I wish I stayed there longer. « I demand that he stay.). From the sematical point of view the so-called imperative, subjunctive, conditional and suppositional moods are distinguished. In some grammar boks, besides the direct and oblique moods, the so-called imperative mood is distinguished. Problems in treating the category of mood in English are also caused by the fact that the whole system of the mood is not stable.
