Besides there are also adverb phrases of direction and purpose.
Postposition /dr/
after the nominals marks the direction and /wast€/
after the nominals as well as the oblique form of the infinitive denotes
the adverb phrase of purpose (for details see postposition).

A few examples are :
|

It is that part of the predicate in a sentence which contains a verb
and an optional auxiliary/auxiliaries. In Gojri a verbal stem inflected
can occur with and
without the following auxiliaries denoting tense or aspect. On the
basis of the members of the verbal phrase there are two kinds of verb
phrases : (1) Simple and (2) Complex. (See also 3.3.)
|
|
|
|
These are those phrases which contain one single verbal stem may or may
not be followed by auxiliaries. (a) Simplest verb phrases are copula verbs
which are present or past tense forms. (See also 3.3.3.)
