====TAM Marking==== | ====TAM Marking==== | ||
Imperial verbs do not inflect, so indications of tense, aspect, mood, mode, evidentiality, voice, and other verbal features are indicated almost exclusively with particles. | |||
====Tense==== | ====Tense==== | ||
The past tense is formed using the auxiliary verb '''''[[Contionary: hati#Modern Standard Imperial|hati]]'''''. E.g.: | |||
* He '''sees''' that tree. ''[[Contionary: shva#Modern Standard Imperial|Shva]] [[Contionary: thule#Modern Standard Imperial|thule]] [[Contionary: ku#Modern Standard Imperial|ku]] '''[[Contionary: veta#Modern Standard Imperial|veta]]'''.'' | |||
:: → He '''saw''' that tree. ''[[Contionary: shva#Modern Standard Imperial|Shva]] [[Contionary: thule#Modern Standard Imperial|thule]] [[Contionary: ku#Modern Standard Imperial|ku]] '''[[Contionary: hati#Modern Standard Imperial|hati]] [[Contionary: veta#Modern Standard Imperial|veta]]'''.'' | |||
The future is formed using the auxiliary '''''[[Contionary: ati#Modern Standard Imperial|ati]]''''', which follows the verb, or may be suffixed to the verb in some circumstances. E.g.: | |||
* He '''sees''' that tree. ''[[Contionary: shva#Modern Standard Imperial|Shva]] [[Contionary: thule#Modern Standard Imperial|thule]] [[Contionary: ku#Modern Standard Imperial|ku]] '''[[Contionary: veta#Modern Standard Imperial|veta]]'''.'' | |||
:: → He '''will see''' that tree. ''[[Contionary: shva#Modern Standard Imperial|Shva]] [[Contionary: thule#Modern Standard Imperial|thule]] [[Contionary: ku#Modern Standard Imperial|ku]] '''[[Contionary: veta#Modern Standard Imperial|vet]]’[[Contionary: ati#Modern Standard Imperial|ati]]'''.'' | |||
