OTHER CLASSES OF VERBS
There are other kinds of verbs whose distinguishing character consists in their conjugational roots. They are always [[90]]derived from the ordinary verbs, but bear different meaning, although conjugated as ordinarily.
The conjugational roots in active voice are different from those in passive.
From the original root SURAT we have the following classes:
ACTIVE VOICE
| Conjugational root | Indicative Present | Classes |
| sinurat | nagsisinurat | CONTINUATIVE |
| casurat | nacacasurát | ABSOLUTE POTENTIAL |
| cagsurat | nacacagsurát | RELATIVE POTENTIAL |
| isusúrat | náisusurat | ABSOLUTE APTATIVE |
| ipagsusúrat | náipagsusurat | RELATIVE APTATIVE |
| pagpasurát | nápasurát | ABSOLUTE PERMISSIVE |
| papagsúrat | napapagsurát | RELATIVE PERMISSIVE |
| papágsurat | pinasusurát | ABSOLUTE IMPERATIVE |
| papagsurát | pinapagsurát | RELATIVE IMPERATIVE |
| susúrat | nasusúrat | IMPREMEDITATIVE |
| suratsúrat | nasuratsúrat | ABSOLUTE DIMINUTIVE |

| suratsurát | násuratsurát | ABSOLUTE REPETITIVE |
| suratsurát | nagsusuratsurát | RELATIVE REPETITIVE |
| pasuratsúrat | nagpapasuratsurat | RECIPROCATE |
| From the original root “hadì,” we have | ||
| pacahádi | napacaháhì | IMITATIVE |
| From the original root “buság,” we have | ||
| pagticabusag | náticabusag | ABSOLUTE GRADUAL |
| pagticabusag | nagtiticabusag | RELATIVE GRADUAL |

As it may be observed above, one original root may give a great number of different classes of verbs, as the nature of the root and use may permit. The subdivision [[91]]absolute and relative of these classes corresponds exactly to the primitive and progressive forms already explained.
The continuative is distinguished, in its conjugational root, by the interfix in and it expresses persistence of the action. As
| nagtitinóoc an batà | (the child is crying persistently) |
The potential is determined, in its conjugational roots, by the prefix paca or pacag (absolute and relative) and it means ability on the part of the subject to execute the action expressed by the original root. As
