[6] The men were drunk; i.e. inebriated.  The toasts were drank.

[7] Gotten is nearly obsolete.  Its compound forgotten, is still in good use.

[8] Ridden is nearly obsolete.

[9] Sang and sank should not be used in familiar style.

[10] Spitten is nearly obsolete.

In familiar writing and discourse, the following, and some other verbs, are often improperly terminated by t instead of ed; as, “learnt, spelt, spilt, stopt, latcht.”  They should be, “learned, spelled, spilled, stopped, latched.”

You may now conjugate the following irregular verbs, in a manner similar to the conjugation of regular verbs:  arise, begin, bind, do, go, grow, run, lend, teach, write.  Thus, to arise—­Indicative mood, pres. tense, first person, sing.  I arise; imperf. tense, I arose; perf. tense, I have arisen, and so on, through all the moods, and all the tenses of each mood; and then speak the participles:  thus, pres. arising, perf. arisen, comp. having arisen.  In the next place, conjugate the same verb in the second person sing. through all the moods and tenses; and then in the third person sing. and in the first pers. plural.  After that, you may proceed in the same manner with the words begin, bind, &c.

Now read the eleventh and twelfth lectures four or five times over, and learn the order of parsing a verb.  You will then be prepared to parse the following verbs in full; and I presume, all the other parts of speech.  Whenever you parse, you must refer to the Compendium for definitions and rules, if you cannot repeat them without, I will now parse a verb, and describe all its properties by applying the definitions and rules according to the systematic order.

    “We could not accomplish the business.”

Could accomplish is a verb, a word which signifies to do—­active, it expresses action—­transitive, the action passes over from the nom. “we” to the object “business”—­regular, it will form its imperfect tense of the indic. mood and perf. part, in ed—­potential mood, it implies possibility or power—­imperfect tense, it denotes past time however distant—­first pers. plural, because the nom. “we” is with which it agrees, agreeably to RULE 4. A verb must agree, &c.  Conjugated—­Indic. mood, present tense, first pers. sing.  I accomplish; imperfect tense, I accomplished; perfect, I have accomplished; pluperfect, I had accomplished; and so on.—­Speak it in the person of each tense through all the moods, and conjugate, in the same manner, every verb you parse.
