Note
A regular plural formed with -s, though its tone depends on which meaning of mood it carries. Someone "given to moods" is being called sullen or short-tempered, because the plural draws on the gloomy sense rather than emotional states in general. The moods of a piece of music or of a crowd are neutral by contrast: they are shifts of character or atmosphere, not bad tempers.
