Tense (and aspect) Paradigm Table
Verb Tense Paradigm Table
This is a collection of verb paradigm tables. Add a new one in the appropriate alphabetic order when you elicit a new verb, even if you haven't elicited the whole paradigm yet. These tense categories are initial and tentative, as we discover the TAM system. Feel free to add your comments and observations too, and don't forget to initial them. And you are also able to link up sound bits by writing 'bracket bracket Media: name of sound file.wav|word bracket bracket' in the individual cells. --Oana 20:30, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
