Deprecated templates

This template replaces all previous English verb inflection templates:

{{en-infl-irreg}}
{{conj}}
{{conj2}}
{{irregverb}}

Usage

Use this template to show the inflection line of an English verb.

This template shows the verb in bold (optionally linking its components) and its key inflections.

{{en-verb}}
{{en-verb|...|es}}
{{en-verb|...|d}}
{{en-verb|...|ing}}
{{en-verb|...s|...ing|...d }}
{{en-verb|...s|...ing|...d|...d}}
{{en-verb|...s|...ing|'''[[...d]]''' 'or' '''[[...t]]'''}}
                       <!-- for detailed notes -->

View as table or inline

Consistent with the majority of entries, the default display style is inline. However, as described at WT:CUSTOM#Inflections, each person can choose to see this template as a table by adding the following to the CSS for the selected skin (e.g. Special:Mypage/monobook.css; contact me for help):

.infl-inline {display:none}
.infl-table {display:inline}

Note: After changing your stylesheet, you may need to refresh your browser cache (Mozilla/Firefox/Safari: hold down Shift while clicking Reload, or press Ctrl-Shift-R (Cmd-Shift-R on Apple Mac); IE: hold Ctrl while clicking Refresh, or press Ctrl-F5; Konqueror: click the Reload button or press F5; Opera users may need to completely clear their cache in Tools→Preferences). A goal on WT:GP is to simplify monobook customization. Until then, use the above code to see inflections in tables.

Parameters

Many verbs form the third-person singular by adding -s, the past by adding -ed, and the present participle by adding -ing. For such verbs, no parameters are necessary:

===Verb===

{{en-verb}}

To specify -es for the present third-person singular form:

{{en-verb|buzz|es}}

{{en-verb|hiss|es}}

{{en-verb|perplex|es}}

{{en-verb|scratch|es}}

{{en-verb|slosh|es}}

Verbs ending in -ee, -ie, or -ye add only -d for the past tense:

{{en-verb|dye|d}}

{{en-verb|free|d}}

{{en-verb|hoe|d}}

For verbs that add, drop, or replace final letters in the stem, specify the stem change:

{{en-verb|admir|ing}} (dropped the -e)

{{en-verb|bus|s|es}} (added an s)

{{en-verb|cr|i|ed}} (changed the -y to -i)

{{en-verb|t|y|ing}} (changed the -ie to -y)

{{en-verb|trek|k|ed}} (added a k)

Irregular verbs

For irregular (strong) verbs, specify the key forms (third-person present singular, the present participle, the simple past tense, and optionally the past participle):

{{en-verb|sets|setting|set}}

{{en-verb|does|doing|did|done}}

Some irregular verbs are defective or have multiple forms for some inflections. Show missing or additional forms or notes for any inflection. (Use inf for the infinitive notes, if necessary.):

{{en-verb| inf= - | can | - | could | - }}

{{en-verb| works | working | '''[[worked]]''' ''or obsolete'', '''[[wrought]]'''}}

{{en-verb| inf=to [[have]] [[cake]] | '''[[has cake]]''' ''or archaic'', '''[[hath cake]]''' | having cake | had cake}}

{{en-verb| ills | '''[[illing]]''' ''or'' '''[[illin']]''' | illed}}

Other example, for blend:

{{en-verb|blends|blending|'''[[blended]]''', ''or poetic'', '''[[blent]]'''}}

Temporary legacy support

Some verbs were written with a different order for the present participle and past past tense arguments. This template temporarily supports such order only if the first argument is the page name:

{{en-verb|introduce|introduces|introduced|introducing}}

Replaces Template:regverb?

Are we to assume this template is to be used instead of Template:regverb? Personally, I like Template:en-verb (this one) better, but I wish there was a policy (consensus).

V-ball 02:25, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Template:regverb has been deprecated. Ncik 00:09, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Third Person Singular

Shouldn't the second box in the template note that this is Third person singular present? I realize this would make the box wider, but perhaps we could abbrev. as 3rd pers. sing. present. --EncycloPetey 05:45, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

This is pretty obvious and doesn't need to be mentioned. Similarly for other grammatical qualifiers like mood, aspect, etc. Ncik 03:00, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, of course it should follow convention, and list it properly as "Third person singular present." --Connel MacKenzie T C 00:32, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't know. It seems excessive to say "Third-person singular present indicative" when "Third-person singular" is pretty clear for English speakers. Rod (A. Smith) 00:44, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

It might be obvious to English speakers, but this is an international site used by people learning English as well. Saying "thrid person" might be taken to mean the singular and the plural. Most other languages inflect their verbs far more than English does -- English is singularly weird when it comes to verb forms.

Add support for split verbs

It would be nice if there was some support for split verbs, so that it would be easier to add an inflection line for them, see e.g. fork over, where it has to be entered like this: {{en-verb|inf=to [[fork]] [[over]]|'''[[forks]] over'''|'''[[forking]] over'''|'''[[forked]] over'''}}. Something along the lines {{en-verb|part=over}}, which would result in

to en-verb over, (third-person singular simple present en-verbs over, present participle en-verbing over, simple past en-verbed over, past participle en-verbed over)

or something the like would be very nice. henne 11:11, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Use inf=fork over|forks over|forking over|forked over SemperBlotto 22:04, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, no the ‘to’ disappears then, so at least {{en-verb|inf=to [[fork]] [[over]]|forks over|forking over|forked over}}, but do we want red entries for forks over etc? H. (talk) 08:33, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I think we do. A split verb is treated as a word and all its inflections should have entries like all other words. __meco 11:39, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Accommodate for US/UK differences

There are quite some verbs (e.g. label), that have different spellings in the -ing and -ed forms for US/UK. It would be nice if this could be accomodated for with some parameters (or a separate template, maybe). H. (talk) 14:43, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Are more than, say, a hundred such verbs? If not, it may be best to stick with the admittedly cumbersome syntax used in the label}} entry. If there are more than a hundred such verbs, we'll need to get input from a more public venue (e.g. WT:GP), because in the past, Connel has expressed considerable objection adding any more complexity to {{en-verb}} and its kin. Rod (A. Smith) 19:19, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

My understanding is that the difference exists for many (possibly even "almost all") multisyllabic words ending in consonant-vowel-consonant.—msh210℠ 19:25, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't think it's quite so broad as that; for one thing, I'm pretty sure it's only when said vowel is unstressed. And actually I think it might only be verbs ending in unstressed -Vl (label, travel, trammel, gambol, cavil, carol, and so on); for example, parroted and covered seem to be the standard spellings everywhere (but with parrotted and coverred being common misspellings). —Ruakh_TALK 08:49, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Second person singular

Why don't we put how is the second person of the singular, nominative case?--200.127.229.244 18:38, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
