* The **root** which carries the basic meaning of the verb.

* The :ref:`Tense<tense>` which indicates the speaker’s perspective or viewpoint *of the time of action* and the *kind of action* of the verb. The kind of action may be *continuous*, *completed*, or *completed with an ongoing effect.*

Many verbs are said to be deponent. A deponent verb is a verb whose stem is middle or passive in form, but active in meaning. The definitions of many verbs that are classified as deponent have a meaning that implies the participation of the person doing the action.

Verbs must agree with the subject of the verb in both number and gender. Therefore, the pronoun (he, she, or it) is included in the verb itself and is not necessary to be restated as a separate word.
