I can't really agree with that, although I think I know what you are getting at. The verb has 5 different moods: indicative; subjunctive; imperative; conditional and interrogative. (Other moods such as optative have been absorbed into the subjunctive.) There can be only one mood in any one incident of a verb, and the above is clearly interrogative.
