If we had arrived earlier, we would have been able to sit closer to the stage. What is the verb mood of this sentence?.

It would be a subjunctive mood.

The word mood in gramar is used to refer to a verb category depeding on what the cerb expresses. In this case, since the verb expresses a condition, we are dealing with a subjunctive mood sentence.

The subjunctive mood is used to talk about hypothetical, non factual or doubtful conditions using if with the conditional or the past conditional.
