All verbs are formed from two principal parts, the infinitive and imperative. To these, the same terminations are added for all verbs. The auxiliary verb, to be, has infinitive, imperative, but some tenses are derived from the radical, and in this respect are slightly irregular. To be, to be, indicative, present. I am Thou art He, she, it is, asked We are You are They are Present, stronger form I am Thou art He, she, it is, asked We are You are They are Present, negative I am not Thou art not He, she, it is not We are not You are not Preterate I was Thou wast He, she, it was We were You were They were Imperfect I used to be Thou did used to be He, she, it used to be We used to be You used to be They used to be Perfect I have been I have been Thou hast been He has been We have been You have been They have been Perfect I had been Thou had been Thou had been He had been We had been You had been They had been Future Future formed with the auxiliary verb And the shortened infinitive I shall be Thou wilt be He will be We shall be You will be They will be To be Past participle Be Thou Be Thou For the other persons subjunctive present is used So for all verbs Subjunctive present I may be Thou mayst be He may be We may be You may be They may be Imperfect I might be Thou mightst be He might be We might be You might be They might be For the pluperfect Boud Or Or May be used Boud May he, she or it be Is used as obstative to express a wish Example May your life be long Or Or May your life be long Or The auxiliary verb To become is regular And therefore forms its present indicative and subjunctive from the imperative show But the other tenses from shortened infinitive Should The final verb in shore is pronounced as V before a vowel Example Shavam Indicative present I become I become Thou mayst Thou mayst He, she, it becomes Mishavad He, she, it becomes Mishavad We become You become Mishavad Preterate I became I became Thou didst become He became We became You became They became Imperfect I became That it's become He became We became You became They became Perfect I have become Thou hast become He has become We have become You have become They have become Perfect I had become Thou hast become He had become We had become You had become They had become Future I shall become Thou shall become He shall become We shall become You shall become They shall become Infinitive to become Present participle becoming Very seldom used Past participle become Gerund, what ought to become Subjunctive present I may become Thou hast become He may become We may become You may become They may become Imperfect and pluperfect the same as in the indicative, and so for all verbs.
