Document Summary
There is no has, am, been, or is in jc. Lecture 6: the grammar of jc (part 2 of 3) Jc does not add inflections to the end of verbs ex (-ed) for past tense, and the present tense (-s) which is used with 3rd person singular. The verb in its base form in english means present tense, but this may no always be the case in jc. I walk to school may not mean the same things as mi waak go skuul. all you need is context. Generally, past tense does not have explicitly indicated in jc sentences. Thus, mi ron can mean the same as i ran depending on the context (ex = mi ron uom lss nait ) Mi did ron go uom bifour mi mada riich uom . The past tense marker did can also used, but this also dependent on context time is employed.
