The type of mood or tense marking that causes counterfactuality inferences-as figuring prominently, but far from exclusively, in counterfactual conditionals-has not yet received a comprehensive and compositional analysis. Focusing on four languages, the paper presents under-appreciated facts and a novel theory where the mood serves to activate alternatives to modal operators, particularly one: the identity operator, often giving rise to counterfactual implicatures
