This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

This template may be used on the entry pages of all regular English verbs – the basic forms of which do not generally require the addition, change, or deletion of any letters when inflected – to create a table of conjugated forms of the verbs. It also supports all irregular verbs with manual parameters.

For irregular verbs, parameters may be constructed by indicating tense and person/mood. For example, past_2sg indicates the second person past form, and pres_ptc indicates the present participle. A tense and person/mood must always be specified, using one from each of the following lists:

Tense
  • pres: present tense
  • past: past tense
Person/mood
  • 1sg: first person
  • 2sg: second person
  • 3sg: third person
  • pl: plural
  • sub: subjunctive
  • imp: imperative
  • ptc: participle

As a special case, the past forms may be all specified together:

  • past

Archaic and obsolete forms

[සංස්කරණය]

Archaic or obsolete second-person forms (ending in -est and -edst) and third-person singular forms (ending in -eth) may be indicated by the parameter |old=1.

If a verb is defective, using the argument - will omit that form from the table.

Additional forms

[සංස්කරණය]

Additional forms of a particular type may be specified by appending a number to the parameter (e.g. pres_2sg2). Up to four forms are supported.

Additionally, archaic/obsolete forms may be specified by appending _old (e.g. pres_1sg_old). As with all manually specified forms these will take priority, so they will overwrite any forms generated by old=1. A second archaic/obsolete form may be specified by appending _old2.

Qualifiers and footnotes

[සංස්කරණය]

Qualifiers may be added by using any paramter with _qual appended (e.g. past_pl_qual or pres_3sg_old2_qual). These appear in-line, in a similar fashion to definition labels (e.g. (colloquial)). However, they will automatically be incorporated into the archaic/obsolete footnote if the arguments archaic or obsolete are used.

If you wish them to appear in footnotes, giving the arguments note1, note2 or note3 will instead place a footnote marker next to the form. You must then also use the parameter note1, note2 or note3 to specify what the footnote says. This is useful if several forms would have the same label, or the label is too long to comfortably fit in a cell.

Specifying a verb that is the same as the entry

[සංස්කරණය]
No changes required
Assuming the template is used on the walk page:
Verb requires addition of -es
Assuming the template is used on the cherish page, -es rather than -s needs to be added at the end of the word to indicate the third-person singular simple present indicative form cherishes:
Verb requires dropping of e
Assuming the template is used on the repine page, the letter e at the end of the word needs to be dropped to form the inflection repining:
  • Wikitext: {{en-conj|stem=repin}}
  • Result:

Specifying a verb that is different from the entry

[සංස්කරණය]
