5.The verb

Grammatical categories of the finite verbs.

Grammatical categories of the verbals.In Oe there were two non-finite forms of the verb: the Infinitive and the Participle. Their nominal features were more obvious than verbal. The latter was revealed only in their syntactic combinability: they could take diect objects and be modified by adverbs.

The Infinitive had a reduced case-system: two forms which roughly correspond to the Nom. and Dat. cases of Nouns.

Nom. beran

Dat. to beranne

Participles.Part I was opposed to Part.II through Voice and Tense distinction. Part.I was active and expressed present or simultaneous processes, while Part.Iiexpressed states andqualities resulting from past action, was passive, if the verb was transitive.
