By examining carefully the conjugation of the verb through this mood, you will find it very easy; thus, you will notice, that whenever any of the auxiliaries, _may, can_, or _must_, is placed before a verb, that verb is in the potential mood, _present_ tense; _might, could, would_, or _should_, renders it in the potential mood, _imperfect_ tense; _may, can_, or _must have_, the _perfect_ tense; and _might, could, would_, or _should have_, the _pluperfect_ tense. INFINITIVE MOOD. Pres. Tense. To love. Perf. Tense. To have loved. PARTICIPLES. Present _or_ imperfect, Loving. Perfect _or_ passive, Loved. 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
