Verbs have evolved to a predominantly agglutinative state, and have simplified greatly from what Old Thadic is thought to have had.
====Tense====
Ossamic has 4 main tenses, being present, near past, general/far past, and future, though occasionally an imperfect does show up. Classical Ossamic also carries a perfect marker, though this has largely been dropped in favor of auxiliary verbs.

The imperfect is marked through the suffix {{lang|sish|֊մի֊}} ({{xlit|sish|֊մի֊}}), with the perfect being {{lang|sish|֊մի(զ)ը֊}} ({{xlit|sish|֊մի(զ)ը֊}}).
The distinction between the near past and the past is typically one of disrance, with the plain past acting more as a far past, though occasionally it acts as a general past and acts for the near past too.
