OF VERBS. Y

A Verb is a word which 'sigaifies to be, to do,;ot to suG fer ; as, Nedahyah, I am; Nedebafrkoonewa, f rule; Ne- dchahkoonegoo, I am ruled.,

Verbs are of three kinds, active, passive; and neuter. A Verb. Active expresses an action, and necessarily im- . 1es an a p n t and an abject acted upon ; as, Nezhahgeah ?* ames. I love James. A verb PasGve expresses passion or a suffering or the re-

ceiving of an action, and implies anobjed acted upon, and an agent by which it is acted upon ; as, Chezhahwaneding, to be lovzd ; John oojezhahwanemah men, John is loved by me.

A Verb Neuter expresses neither action nor passion; but k i n g or a state of being ; as, Nenebah, I sleep ; Nenah- rnahdubj I sit.

Verbs have number, person, mood and tense. KUMBER AND PERSOA. \

Verbs haw two numbeis, the siwlar and the plural. . There are three persons in eacknumber ; as,

Pers. Sinpl-m. - Ptural. 1. Nezhahmanep, I Iwe. Nezhahwanegamin, me love. 2, Kezhallwanem,thou lovest. I<ezhahwanegaim, you love. 3. Zhawanega, Kc loves. Zhahnranepmg, they love.

MOOD- ! The moods are five, Endicative, Subjunctive, Imperative, *

Potential, and the Infinitive. The Indicative declares or affirms positively, OF it asks o

question ; as, Zhahwanega, he loves ; Zhahwaneganah ?. Does he love ?

The Subjunctive expresses action or passion in a doubt-. ful manner ; as, Kespin zhafiwanegaid, if he loves.

Tlie Imperative is used for commanding, exhorting, and: entreating; as, hlahjahn keen, depart thou ; Noodahmoo- yook, do thou listen.

The Potential implies liberty, wer, will ; as, Tawmewan kahmahbup, it may rain ; gegahmese- emin hya kahmenequarnin, we shall eat and drmk.

The infinitive simply expresses the sipification of the verb; as, Cheezechegng, to do ; Chegegedoong, to speak.

TENSE.

uT- ; Verbs have six tenses, the present., the imperkct, the Jew ,perfect, the pluperfect, the first and second future tenses.

'&lace at the time in which i t is mentioned ; as, Nebop, m- i h u q h ; Newob, I see ; Nedenadum, I think.

! ever distant, finished, but withdut definhg the exact time a- >of its completion ; as, Oodanongezahbahneeg ahpe naqua-

:akahwod, they were travelling to the town when he met 9, ithem.

. j The perfed tense refers not only to what is past but also :conveys an allusion to the present time ; as, Ahzheh nege-

~t i gezhetoon nemahzhenahepn, I have finished my letter. . . ,I- The pluperfect tense' represents a thing, not only as past, j but also as prior ta some other point of tune specified in the ': sentence ; as, Ahzehnegegezhetonahbun letter chebwabe-

\ . . ? dahveshing, I had finished my letter before he arrived. . - ?'he first future tense represents the action as yet to I come, either with or without respect b the precise time - when; as, Owl1 kezis tahbemookahum wahbung, the sun
