Question

"Take care of this man for the next few days." In what mood is the predicate in this sentence? Is it imperative indicative emphatic, indicative progessive?

Answer 1

These are "verbal moods," sometimes referred to as "modes," which only refer to the verb and not the predicate.

 

In this case, it is the imperative because it is a command.

 

E.g.:

 

Indicative - I am taking care of this man for the next week... - plain declarative sentence

Emphatic - I do take care of this man. Uses "do" as an auxiliary to add emphasis.

Subjunctive - I wish I were taking care of this man for the next two weeks - hypothetical situation

Answer 2

This sentence is an imperative indicative emphatic. The reason being is that you are expecting an outcome through an imperative statement of telling someone to do it.
