* ''Shaltů don het!'' - Do it! (Yes, you will do it!).
* ''Shaltů don het!'' - Do it! (Yes, you will do it!).
===Past perfect and future perfect===
If the same construction of the present perfect is used with the auxiliary inflected to past or future, then two new tenses are formed: the past perfect and the future perfect. The former is used to talk about past happenings that ended before another past happening; the latter is used to talk about future happenings that will end before another future happening, ex.:
* ''Y hafte ieten ond y ůtjode'' - I had eaten and [then] I went out;
* ''Hwonne tů shal onhipan, y shal håban ijonded'' - As you'll return, I will have finished.
===Present subjunctive===
The present subjunctive is regularly used in Tjoc. Even if this tense is present, it is used to report words said by others or ideas and quotations that aren't of the one who speaks, not only if the principal verb is in the present, but also if the principal verb is in the past.
Moreover this tense is used to express exhortation with the 1st person plural and the 3rd person singular and plural (that haven't got an imperative form).
Here is the present subjunctive of some verbs:
{| {{Table/bluetable}} style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle"
!'''Person'''
!'''Bjon'''
!'''Lyrnan'''
!'''Wennan'''
!'''Lycan'''
|-
!'''y''' / '''tů''' / '''he'''
|sy
|lyrne
|wenne
|lyce
|-
!'''we''' / '''je''' / '''hy'''
|synne(n)
|lyrnen
|wennen
|lycen
|}
So in regular verbs this tense is formed with the infinitive form + the endings: ''-e'', ''-en''.
It has already been said that the present subjunctive is used to report words said by others, even if this words were said in the past, ex.:
* He says that Mary loves him - ''He hwet (at) Mary frjowe hin.''
* He said that Mary loved him - ''He hwat (at) Mary frjowe hin.''
Irregular verbs have got a regular present subjunctive, except for the irregular verbs with a root vowel ''u'': in this case the ''u'' becomes ''i'':
{| {{Table/bluetable}} style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle"
!'''Person'''
!'''Don'''
!'''Kunnan'''
!'''Skulan'''
!'''Håban'''
|-
!'''y''' / '''tů''' / '''he'''
|do
|kinne
|shile
|håbe
|-
!'''we''' / '''je''' / '''hy'''
|don
|kinnen
|shilen
|håben
|}
===Past subjunctive===
The past tense of subjunctive is used also to quote words, ideas, and so forth, but only if the verb of the subordinate is not in the same tense of the principal verb, and exactly if the action of the verb of the subordinate has happened before of the action expressed by the principal verb, ex.:
* He says that Mary loved him - ''He hwet (at) Mary frjode hin.''
* He said that Mary had loved him - ''He hwat (at) Mary frjode hin.''
This tense is used also to express the verb of the subordinate clause in the conditional clause (protasis).
Here is the past subjunctive of some verbs:
{| {{Table/bluetable}} style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle"
!'''Person'''
!'''Bjon'''
!'''Don'''
!'''Skulan'''
!'''Håban'''
|-
!'''y''' / '''tů''' / '''he'''
|were
|dide
|shelle
|hafte
|-
!'''we''' / '''je''' / '''hy'''
|weren
|diden
|shellen
|haften
|}
The form of the past subjunctive is the same of three persons plural of the past indicative, the singular forms are identical, the plural forms add an ''-n''. If the root vowel of the past indicative is ''jo'', ''o'' or ''ů''/''u'', this changes and become respectively ''y'', ''e'' and ''y''/''i''.
===Imperative and exhortation form===
The imperative mood has got only the present tense and the 2nd person (both singular and plural), the other persons use the present subjunctive forms instead.
The 2nd person singular has got the same form of the present of indicative, but without the ending ''-t'', moreover the verbs with root vowel change ''a'' > ''e'', have got the ''a'' in the root of the imperative form.
The 2nd person plural is the same of the present of indicative, but substitutes the ending 'a' for '(e)t'.
Some verbs as ''bjon'' have got an irregular imperative form:
{| {{Table/bluetable}} style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle"
!'''Person'''
!'''Bjon'''
!'''Lyrnan'''
!'''Wennan'''
!'''Lycan'''
!'''Knåwan'''
!'''Wytan'''
!'''Segan'''
!'''Hwetan'''
!'''Don'''
!'''Skån'''
!'''Åwan'''
!'''Håban'''
!'''Willan'''
!'''Mawan'''
|-
!'''tů'''
|wes
|ljorn
|wenn
|lyc
|knåf
|wit
|sag
|hwet
|do
|skå
|åg
|haf
|will
|mag
|-
!'''je'''
|west
|lyrnt
|went
|lycet
|knåft
|witet
|segt
|hwetet
|dot
|skåt
|ågt
|håbt
|wilt
|magt
|}
{| {{Table/bluetable}} style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle"
!'''Person'''
!'''Kunnan'''
!'''Motan'''
!'''Duwan'''
!'''Munan'''
!'''Turwan'''
!'''Skulan'''
!'''Durran'''
|-
!'''tů'''
|kunn
|mot
|dug
|mun
|turf
|skul
|durr
|-
!'''je'''
|kunt
|motet
|dugt
|munt
|tuft
|skult
|durt
|}
It can be used also the future of indicative to emphasize orders, compare:
* ''Do (tů) het!'' - Do it!
* ''Shaltů don het!'' - You will do it!
In this case the future is used with the inversion of verb and subject.
To be more polite it can be used the construction of the verb ''skulan'' or of the verb ''turwan''. Usually this pattern is used with the 2nd person plural to underline the politeness, but it is often used with the 2nd person singular too:
* ''Tů shal don het.'' / ''Tů tjarf don het.'' - You have to do it. / You need to do it.
* ''Je sholon don het.'' / ''Je turwon don het.'' - You should do it.
The use of the future of indicative and of the present of subjunctive with the other persons are called exhortation form. Some examples with other persons:
* ''Gå we to se lerstof.'' - Let's go to the school.
* ''Ete hjo an klåwje.'' - She eat a sandwich.
In both these constructions the verb precedes the subject.
===Conditional===
Even the conditional uses a perifrastic form in Tjoc, it is obtained with the past of the verb ''skulan'' and the infinitive of the verb:
{| {{Table/bluetable}} style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle"
!'''Person'''
!'''Bjon'''
!'''Lyrnan'''
!'''Wennan'''
!'''Lycan'''
|-
!'''y''' / '''tů''' / '''he'''
|skolle bjon
|skolle lyrnan
|skolle wennan
|skolle lycan
|-
!'''we''' / '''je''' / '''hy'''
|skollon bjon
|skollon lyrnan
|skollon wennan
|skollon lycan
|}
The conditional of the verb ''skulan'' is formed with the perifrastic construction: ''skulan + bjon inȝeƿed to + infinitive'', ex.:
* ''Tů skolle injewed to don het'' - You should do it.
To give a suggestion this construction can be avoided and substituted for ''skulan + infinitive'', in this case the verb precedes the subject:
* ''Skolle tů don het!'' - You should do it!
* ''Skollon je don het!'' - You (pl.) should do it!
