"English Grammar in Familiar Lectures"


Compound, Having loved.
NOTE. The perfect participle of a regular verb, corresponds exactly
with the imperfect tense; yet the former may, at all times, be
distinguished from the latter, by the following rule: In
composition, the imperfect tense of a verb _always_ has a
nominative, either expressed or implied: the perfect participle
_never_ has.
For your encouragement, allow me to inform you, that when you shall have
learned to conjugate the verb _to love_, you will be able to conjugate
all the regular verbs in the English language, for they are all
conjugated precisely in the same manner. By pursuing the following
direction, you can, in a very short time, learn to conjugate any verb.
Conjugate the verb _love_ through all the moods and tenses, in the first
person singular, with the pronoun _I_ before it, and speak the
Participles: thus, Indicative mood, pres. tense, first pers. sing. I
_love_, imperf. tense, I _loved_; perf. tense, I _have loved_; and so
on, through every mood and tense. Then conjugate it in the second pers.
sing, with the pronoun _thou_ before it, through all the moods and
tenses; thus, Indic.
