VERBS.

There are two classes of verbs in O.E., strong and weak. The conjugation of strong verbs is effected mainly by means of vowel-gradation, that of weak verbs by the addition of d (-ode, -ede, -de) to the root-syllable.

The following is the conjugation of the strong verb bindan (bind), which will serve to show the endings which are common to all verbs:—

INDICATIVE. SUBJUNCTIVE.
Pres. sing. 1. bind-e, bind-e.
2. bind-est, bintst, bind-e.
3. bind-eþ, bint, bind-e.
plur. bind-aþ, bind-en.
Pret. sing. 1. band, bund-e.
2. bund-e, bund-e.
3. band, bund-e.
plur. bund-on, bund-en.
Imper. sing. bind; plur. bind-aþ. Infin. bind-an.
Partic. pres. bind-ende; pret. ġe-·bund-en.
Gerund. tō bind-enne.

For the plural bindaþ, both indicative and imperative, binde is used when the personal pronoun follows immediately after

the verb:—wē bindaþ (we bind), but binde wē (let us bind); so also gāþ! (go plur.), but gā ġē! (go ye).
