The feature Mood only applies to finite verb forms.
| Attribute | Value | Du. example | Du. tag |
| Mood | indicative | (hij) gaat | |
| subjunctive | kome (wat komt) | a | |
The indicative is not marked as such, most of the finite verb forms being indicative. Only the few subjunctive verb forms have a special tag: `a'. In Dutch, the subjunctive only occurs in the third person singular. Phrases containing subjunctive verb forms mostly belong to the written language and possess an archaic or idiomatic quality. The subjunctive generally occurs in the Present tense. Only one Past tense form remains (`ware').
