I am writing a computer program that will describe an English verb. Below is an enumeration of the types of verbs that I have put together. Please indicate any errors, if you will, that my enumeration may have. I derived this enumeration from the verbal use of "be", "have", "hath", "art" etc., and "//" precedes remarks of element. Thank you.
