Verbs generally come in a bewildering array of tenses and aspects. There are several major types of verbs. These include intransitive; transitive; ditransitive; and ergative, all of which types are marked in some of the world's languages. Caucasian languages not only mark verbs for ergativity, but also have ergative-absolutive noun case systems. Several languages spoken in Papua New Guinea mark verbs for transitivity, and some also mark verbs for ditransitivity. Grammatical tense is a way languages express the time or place at which an event described by a sentence occurs. In English, this is a property of a verb form, and expresses only time-related information (English does not have spatial tenses). Tense, along with mood and person, are three ways in which verb forms are frequently characterized in Indo-European languages.

Life Of A Rat: Grammar Myths And Paraphrastic Modals

http://www.20six.co.uk/weblogEntry/g0o5nzlz8kuu

Extractions: 16 March 2004 at 18:38 Grammar Myths and Paraphrastic Modals I came across this so-called rule in a grammar book about the use of "must" vs. "have to" and it really pissed me off, as it's just one more example of an incredibly pervasive ignorance of the historical grammar of English that goes on and causes just more unecessary confusion for L2 learners of English. The rule says something like we use the verb "must" when speaking of necessity: "I must buy some more milk", "I must stop smoking or I will die of cancer", while we use "have to" when speaking of obligation, and examples given were things like "I have to study for my exam" and "I have to clean my room". Now can any native speaker say they actually think about whether something is necessary or obliged before they decide to use "must" or "have to"? I don't think so - this kind of "rule" exceeeds the functions of grammar very illegally. Now completely apart from the fact that any native speaker would in fact say "I've got to (study for my exam) (clean my room) (buy some more milk)", which already casts this so-called rule in serious light, I (ha!) have to/have got to/must say that this so-called rule seems like one more example of grammarians imposing imaginary, unpractised semantic parameters on what is basically a historical grammatical anomaly.
