Template:en-conj/documentation

Usage
This template may be used on the entry pages of English verbs to create a table of conjugated forms of English verbs. It also supports all irregular verbs with manual parameters. In general, it should only be used for verbs with archaic forms; otherwise the headword is sufficient.

Parameters
For irregular verbs, parameters may be constructed by indicating tense and person/mood. For example,  indicates the second person past form, and   indicates the present participle. A tense and person/mood must always be specified, using one from each of the following lists:


 * Tense:
 * : present tense
 * : past tense


 * Person/mood:
 * : first person
 * : second person
 * : third person
 * : plural
 * : subjunctive
 * : imperative
 * : participle

As a special case, the past forms may be all specified together:

Archaic and obsolete forms
or second-person forms (ending in  and ) and third-person singular forms (ending in ) may be indicated by the parameter.

Missing forms
If a verb is, using the argument  will omit that form from the table.

Additional forms
Additional forms of a particular type may be specified by appending a number to the parameter (e.g. ). Up to four forms are supported.

Additionally, archaic/obsolete forms may be specified by appending  (e.g.  ). As with all manually specified forms these will take priority, so they will overwrite any forms generated by. A second archaic/obsolete form may be specified by appending.

Qualifiers and footnotes
Qualifiers may be added by using any paramter with  appended (e.g.   or  ). These appear in-line, in a similar fashion to definition labels (e.g. (colloquial)). However, they will automatically be incorporated into the archaic/obsolete footnote if the arguments  or   are used.

If you wish them to appear in footnotes, giving the arguments,   or   will instead place a footnote marker next to the form. You must then also use the parameter,   or   to specify what the footnote says. This is useful if several forms would have the same label, or the label is too long to comfortably fit in a cell.
