What is the mood of the verb in this sentence?

If I were you, I would consult a specialist.
O subjunctive

O imperative

Answer: A; subjunctive.
Explanation: Subjunctive mood usually allows the speaker/writer to express their suggestion, wish, or demand. Typically, it would be shown as, “If I were you…” or “I suggest…” Indicative mood expresses an action as something that is true, or a fact. Typically it would be shown as, “Lisa does not like the flowers.” of “John is going to the beach.” Imperative mood expresses a command. Typically it would be shown as, “Come over here.” or “Don’t touch that.” Hope that helped!
