ABSTRACT

In modern Danish there is only one form for all persons, singular and plural, in each of the various tenses of the verb.

Danish has no continuous form of the verb (cf. 94) and, like English, employs auxiliary verbs to help form the perfect, past perfect and future tenses (cf.96ff). For learning purposes it is a convenient simplification to consider the formation of the different verb forms as the addition of an ending to the basic part of the verb-the stem (see below).
