How about we conjugate together the verbs “walk” and “intermediate” in the present tense of the indicative way, in the present tense of the subjunctive way and in the imperative way? Then... lets go!!!
Verb to walk (present tense)
I passiO
you passiat
he passiThe
we walk
you walks
they passiam
Intermediate verb (present tense)
I intervenedandyo
you intervenedandyou were
he intervenedandwas going
we intermediate
you intermediaries
they intermediateandwere going
Did you notice anything different? Certainly yes, because the verb “passear”, conjugated in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd singular persons and in the 3rd plural, received the vowel “i”. Another aspect refers to the verb “intermediate”, as it received the vowel “e” in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd person singular and in the 3rd person plural.
As far as the present in the subjunctive and the imperative mode is concerned, the same is true. We will see only what changes?
Verb to walk (present in the subjunctive mode)
take a walk
that you walk
let him walk
let them walk
Intermediate verb (present in the subjunctive mode)
that I intermediate
that you mediate
that he mediates
that they intermediate
Verb to walk (imperative mode)
Affirmative
walk you
walk you
walk around
Negative
don't you walk
don't walk you
don't walk them
Intermediate verb (imperative mode)
Affirmative
intermediate you
intermediate you
intermediate you
Negative
don't you intervene
don't intermediate you
don't intermediate you
Well, we have just learned one more novelty of the many that the language we speak has in store for us. Did you like it?
