 All Knašta verbs have what is known as an implied agent form. This form allows for the verb to be used without its corresponding pronoun.

+When using the implied agent form, the pronoun is omitted. For example, one can say ''Gróþkatsí-link el sé magazatí'' instead of ''Joj gróþ-link el sé magazatí'', both of which mean "I am going to the store." Notice that it is called implied ''agent'', not implied subject. A sentence like the following can be constructed: ''Kónjésakatsí drast til-gaňakatsa'' (I know that we'll win).
+When in a verb phrase and used as a helping verb, the Type II irregular verb is not considered to be in the implied agent form, rather, it is applied to the verb being helped. For example, ''Kanel fétsakatsí lot'' means "I can do it", not "It can I do."
