as, qp, I write. qpkgh, I wrote. qpkgbg, I shall write.

When it commands or prohibits, it is called imperative, as, qpbul, write thou or do thou write. qpp, do thou write not.

When it expresses a suspended action, or dependent upon another verb to complete the sense, it is called subjunctive, as, ĻĻ rebyts, if I write.

When one action is denoted without tense, number or person, the mood is called infinitive, as, qpLL, to write.

The indicative has three tenses, with persons and numbers. The imperative has two tenses: present, and future; it has two numbers, but in the singular has no first person, because he who speaks does not command himself. However in the plural there is a first person, because other persons are addressed and commanded.

.

The subjunctive has the numbers, and persons perfect: but in the tenses has only the present, and the future, because the Armenian language has not properly the past tense of subjunctive.

• The infinitive has neither tense, number, whence it is used as a noun, and nor person: declined in the singular, and is then called the Gerund.
