Is this tense or mood

Are these correct? I have to identify whether each one is tense or mood

She was stammering - tense
The dinner was cheerful - mood
While eating - tense
You’d do better - mood
Whether they are Prussian or English - tense
I will never understand - tense

We're not really supposed to give answers out just like that. I think it's against the rules
But you should easily be able to work this out with a few hints

Tense is based upon time.
Mood is based on the manner or things, or the expression of things. You know how you feel something? You know what mood you're in. Happy, sad etc

I'll help you out with the first two

The first one is tense, because the girl is "stammering" which is a word in the present tense
The second one is mood, because the dinner was "cheerful" notice the mood/feeling/expression?
