| | Modals and auxiliary verbs in English |
| | However, it is possible in English to use past-tense forms to refer to events or state contemporaneous with a reported time of speaking; this is the so-called sequence-of-tense phenomenon in reported speech, illustrated in (i). | | | Ordinarily, forms with past-tense morphology are used to refer to an event or state prior to the time of speaking. | | | In what follows, we review the ways that modals differ from verbs in English, both morphologically (what forms they exhibit) and syntactically (how they combine in sentences). |

| | English verbs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Verbs in the English language are a lexical and morphologically distinct part of speech which describes an action, an event, or a state. | | | Verbs had more forms when the pronoun thou was still in regular use and there was a number distinction in the second person. | | | The highly irregular copular verb to be has eight forms: be, am, is, are, being, was, were, been, of which only one is derivable from a principle part (being is derived from be). |

| | English grammar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | This group of verbs are relics of the older Germanic ablaut system for conjugation. | | | The imperative mood in English occurs only in the second person, and the subject ("you") is generally not expressly stated, because it is implied. | | | Simply put, it's a statement in the active voice of a verb presented as though it were factual. |

| | A construction such as "turn off" is highly problematic because in English, it has numerous meanings. | | | Most European languages have two verbs with the sense of "to know," one meaning to know a person in the sense of friendship or acquaintance (French, connaitre; German, kennen; Spanish, conocer, Russian, poznakomit'), and other meaning to know facts (French, savoir; German, wissen; Spanish, saber; Russian, znat'). | | | This is problematic for speakers of other languages who cannot as easily convert nouns to verbs. |
