You can tell whether the mode is major or minor by the distance between the first, third, and fifth notes of the mode.

Major = 4 S between root and 3rd, 3 S between 3rd and 5th
Minor = 3 S between root and 3rd, 4 S between 3rd and 5th
Augmented = 4 S between root and 3rd, 4 S between 3rd and 5th
Diminished = 3 S between root and 3rd, 3 S between 3rd and 5th
