Time Tenses

The most common conjugation of verbs is time tenses. These allow the verbs to be put in reference to a related source. This indicates whether it is in the past, present, or future as well as whose's past present or future. Once a time tense is specified, it does not need to be specified for the rest of the paragraph chain unless the time tense changes. Also, if a specific time was specified before saying the verb the time tense is not usually necessary.

These conjugations appear in the sentence circle as a hexagon cut through with a line. This hexagon, though it does not always look like a hexagon is called the conjugation hexagon. The line that cuts through the hexagon is called the extended line. The conjugation hexagon is almost always in the exact center of the sentence circle.

There are three parts in each conjugation. This first describes whether the sentence is past tense, present tense, or future tense. Present tense is almost never used and will be added soon. The pictures of past and future tense can be seen below. In order to point the hexagon at a specific word, point the part of the extended line so that the hexagon extends counter clockwise. This means that if it is pointing straight down the hexagon should be on the right of the extended line.

• Past - Bu
• Present - Pu
• Future - Thu

The second part describes the noun that is the sentence is in reference to. If I ran, did that mean I ran in my past, did I run in the past of the universe, or did a random time traveling camera record me running? This has three conjugations, as seen below. Universal is from the perspective of the universe. Personal is from the perspective of a noun already in the sentence. In this case the conjugation would point towards the word it is in reference to. For instance: I cracked the teapot could be from my point of view or the teapot's point of view. Objective is in reference to an object that is not in the sentence. In this case you would add the word to the beginning of the sentence and point the hexagon at that word. It is technically not grammatically wrong if the word was added at a point that is not at the beginning of the sentence but is almost never suggested. Universal does not modify the conjugation hexagon. Personal adds a line opposite the extended line. Objective adds two lines next to the extended line, one next to the top line of the hexagon and one next to the bottom line. All of these lines are inside the hexagon.

• Universal - SoMe
• Personal - PeRi
• Objective - DiSu

The third part is the most complicated part. It refers to neutral, fixed, or uncertain points in time. For neutral points nothing needs to be added to the conjugation. For fixed or uncertain points in time it is different. For fixed points, three dots are added to the conjugation hexagons. For uncertain points, a single hollow dot is added to the conjugation hexagon.

• Fixed - Co
• Uncertain - Re

In order to put the sentence together out loud the conjugation hexagon would be right before the word that it would point towards. Universal tense would be put at the beginning of the sentence. It is said as one word starting with fixed, then time, then reference. For example: "I fell" would be "CoBuPeRi Le HaLoZe".
