VERBS. 



There are three Moods, Indicative, Imperative, and Potential ; and two 

 Participles, the Present and the Past. The Passive Voice is formed by the Past 

 Participle with the Pronoun. The Indicative Mood has two Tenses, Past and 

 Future. The Present Tense is the same as the Past. The only difference between 

 an interrogative and an assertive sentence is in the inflexion of the voice.
