_Do, be, have_, and _will_, are sometimes used as principal verbs; and
when employed as such, _do, be_, and _have_, may be conjugated, by the
help of other auxiliaries, through all the moods and tenses.
DO. The different tenses of _do_, in the several moods, are thus formed:
Indicative mood, pres. tense, first pers. sing. I do; imperfect tense, I
did; perf. I have done; pluperfect, I had done; first future, I shall or
will do; sec. fut. I shall have done. Subjunctive mood, pres. tense, If
I do; imperf. if I did; and so on. Imperative mood, do thou. Potential,
pres. I may, can, or must do, &c. Infinitive, present, to do; perf. to
have done. Participles, pres. doing; perf. done; compound, having done.
HAVE. _Have_ is in great demand. No verb can be conjugated through all
the moods and tenses without it. _Have_, when used as a principal verb,
is doubled in some of the past tenses, and becomes an auxiliary to
itself; thus, Indic. mood, pres. tense, first pers. sing. I have;
imperf. tense, I had; perf. I have had; pluperf. I had had; first fut. I
shall or will have; sec. fut. I shall have had. Subjunctive, present, if
I have; imperf. if I had; perf. if I have had; pluperf. if I had had;
first fut. if I shall or will have; sec. fut. if I shall have had.
Imper. mood, have thou. Potential, present, I may, can, or must have;
imperf. I might, could, would, or should have; perf. I may, can, or must
have had; pluperf. I might, could, would, or should have had.
Infinitive, present, to have; perf. to have had. Participles, pres.
having; perf. had; compound, having had.
BE. In the next place I will present to you the conjugation of the
irregular, neuter verb, _Be_, which is an auxiliary whenever it is
placed before the perfect participle of another verb, but in every other
situation, it is a _principal_ verb.
