(c) A simple verb stem inflected + auxiliaries.
|
|
There is restriction on the co-occurrence of main verb form and the
auxiliary as the main verb preceding the present and past tense
auxiliaries can be the contingent, imperfective, perfective and infinitive
forms of the main verb. The desiderative auxiliary can only follow the
contingent form. The agreement rule applies to both the constituents (main
verb and the auxiliary verb) of the verb phrase. Examples are :
