Regular Knašta verbs are grouped into two classes based on how they are conjugated, -va and -nés verbs. Which group any particular verb is in must be memorized, as it cannot be determined from the verb itself alone. The majority of regular Knašta verbs are -nés verbs. | Regular Knašta verbs are grouped into two classes based on how they are conjugated, -va and -nés verbs.

=====Type I and II Irregular Verbs===== | |||
Type I irregular verbs have an irregular conjugated form. The only Type I irregular verb is ''ǰinxa'' (to be). | |||
Type II irregular verbs do not change their form when conjugated. Type II irregular verbs are often helping verbs. The list of Type II irregular verbs are: kanel, potečřé, avbendí, and můsťen. | |||

======Implied Agent Form====== | |||
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. | |||

Notice the use of ''lot'' instead of ''3rd Singular''. The implied agent form can only be used in the 3rd person singular if the agent (person or thing preforming the action) is ''lot'' (it). | |||
Some regular verbs have irregular implied agent form stems, such as the verb ''ameska'' (to like). | |||
