The above Synopsis of the conjugation of a verb in the Comnon Form is complete for every verb in the English Language. The tenses in the first column are always derived from the First Root, or the simple form of the verb as it appears in the Present Infinitive. The tenses in the second column are derived from the Second Root; those in the third column, from the Third Root. By First, Second, and Third Root, we mean the Principal Parts. The verb to be is irregular in the Present and Past Indicative. To obtain any tense, prefix its sign, which is given in italics, to the Root under which it stands in the Synopsis. If no sign is given, the Root is the form for the tense. The Present Participle, however, annexes its sign to the Root. If a verb is defective in any of its Principal Parts, it will want the tenses derived from the missing Root. The Subjunctive Mode, strictly speaking, has only the Present Tense, excepting the verb to be, which has both the Present and Past Tense. It differs from the Indicative in this only-it has no Personal Endings. Contingency or doubt is also expressed by introducing a clause, containing a verb in either the Indicative or the Potential Mode, with a conjunction denoting contingency or doubt. The Imperative Mode is used in the second person only. It has the same form of the verb as the Present Indicative, but the nominative is generally understood. If expressed, it usually follows the verb. Its tense is Present, if we have reference to the time of command; if we regard the time of the action commanded, it is Future. An The Personal Endings are not indicated in the above Synopsis. This could not be easily done, nor did it seem desirable. intelligent teacher will readily explain their use. We have adopted the nomenclature for the tenses, given in Bullion's Analytical and Practical Grammar, (1) because we like it quite as well as the one we have heretofore used, (2) because the Board of Education have selected this excellent Grammar as a text-book for the schools of Vermont. THE PROGRESSIVE FORM. This Form is obtained by prefixing the variations of the verb to be, as an auxiliary, through all its modes and tenses, to the Present Participle of any other verb.
