Verbal Usage Example
Drafting / / July 04, 2021
Verbs are fundamental in the expressive system: they give dynamism, place in time and support the essence of language, whose minimum elements are sentences (centered on them, as we have seen).
In a synthetic treatise such as this one, we cannot address the many important problems posed by the proper use of verb forms. Therefore, regarding conjugation, use of tenses and modes, cases of agreement, correct use of verbs, verb phrases, Impersonal, passive and pronominal forms, compound accentuation, etc., careful consultation of specialized texts is convenient.
We recommend a lot of attention in the use of the following verbs that, for different reasons, are usually a source of errors or doubts:
• Differentiated use between being and being {being cute and being cute /
• Haber, his vulgarisms ("haiga" for haya) and impersonal use (there were many parties /
• Make, its impersonal use (many years ago ^ and its compounds (satisfy, remake, etc./
• Adecuar, aguar and other verbs in - cuar and - guar (adecuó, aguo, not "adeúo" nor "aguo").
• Financiar (financed, not "finando"), empty (empty, not "empty") and other verbs ending in —iar.
• Squeeze and the like, that diphthong e in ie (squeeze, not "squeeze").
• Force and the like, that diphthong the o in ue (force, not "forced").
• Driving and others in —driving (drove, not "drive").
• Align, entangle, converge and other regularities in which irregularities are committed (align, entangle, converged, not "align", "entangle", "converge").
• Fit, err, come and other commonly misused irregularities (quota, erra, you came, not "changed", "erra", "venistes").
• Foresee, provide and others whose forms are often confused (previ, provided, not "prevef", "proví").
• Hitting and others in —ear, which are improperly diphthong (hit, not "hit").
• Say and its compounds (I will contradict, not "contradict").
• Piercing, lucubrar, prostrate and others that originate vulgarisms (pierced, lucubro, prostrated, not "scared away", "elecubro", "posternóse").
• Influence, value, lubricate and other unnecessary neologisms (I influence, value, lubricate, instead of "influence", "value", "lubricate").
• Guarantee and other defects (guarantee, not "guarantee").
