expressive and emphatic form used to denote the strengthened kind
of request: e.g. Do come tomorrow!
In Ukrainian there are also widely used the so-called
intimate or unofficial forms of the imperative mood which are
created by adding particles of the intimate character to the
common form of the imperative mood -но, -бо: Іди-но сюди. It is
also spread the use of the infinitive of the verb with the imperative
meaning: Встати! Most often such forms can be used in different
slogans, newspaper headlines, military commands: Почистити
казарми!
As for Conditional mood, probably, the only thing linguists
are unanimous about with regard to the conditional mood is that it
represents action as a “non-fact”, as something imaginary, durable,
contrary to reality.
In Ukrainian the conditional mood is formed analytically
by the way of adding the particle б (би) to the form of the past
tense or the infinitive of the conjugated verb.
Unlike Ukrainian the English conditional mood can express
the category of tense: analytical forms should/ would + indefinite
Infinitive. The form of the past time used with the meaning of the
unreal action, points towards the action that could happen in the
present or future. Analytical forms should / would + perfect
Infinitive. Past perfect, used with the meaning of unreal action,
serves to denote an action that could have happened.
Isomorphism is observed in conditional mood in the
existence of some identical forms expressing those some
subjunctive mood meaning referring to present, future or to some
past action/ event.
