Usage notes
For expressing general or gnomic statements, is used in the perfective, unlike other verbs, which are used in the imperfective for this function.

As has no perfect form, it uses the perfective in situations where the perfect might otherwise be expected.

Existential clauses are formed with in the perfective, typically beginning with   for positive existential clauses or   for negative existential clauses. The negative can also be introduced with the terminative  (usually in dependent clauses) or   (usually in noun clauses). Yes-no questions about existence are generally introduced with.

When is used in an inflected form of the suffix conjugation or as a verbal adjective, it can effectively make adverbial predicates (including verbs in the stative) in its clause have the meaning or function of that inflected form, e.g.  in the subjunctive can give an adverbial predicate a subjunctive meaning or function. Thus, it also allows them to form:
 * causatives with, by having a subjunctive be the object of  with a following adverbial/stative predicate.
 * the protasis of a conditional sentence, by having a prospective follow  with a following adverbial/stative predicate.
