Verb-form

Here we follow the tagging for English: the attribute Verb-form applies to non-finite verb forms whereas Mood applies to finite verb forms only.

Attribute Value Dk. example Dk. Tag
Verb-form infinitive skrive vb_inf
perfect participle skrevet vb_pf.ptc
present participle skrivende vb_pres.ptc

A perfect participle remains uninflected when used in verbal function; in adjectival (attributive) function, perfect participle forms are inflected like adjectives (without inflectional comparison).
