Esperanto: Hearings before the Committee on Education by Richard Bartholdt;A. Christen
page 36 of 41 (87%)
(8) On the possible rivals, past, present, or future, to Esperanto see
closing remarks.

(9) To complete what I said on the verb during the hearing I give here
the entire paradigm of the verb in Esperanto.

Paroli, to speak; parolanta, speaking; parolata, spoken.

Present, I speak, etc.: Mi parolas, vi parolas, li parolas, sxi parolas,
ni parolas, vi parolas, ili parolas, oni (one) parolas, gxi (it)
parolas.

There a thus only one ending "as" for the present of every verb and the
same for every person.

In the past the ending is "is": mi parolis, I spoke, etc.

In the future "os" mi parolos, I shall speak, etc. In the conditional
"us": mi parolus, I should speak, etc. In the subjunctive "u": ke
mi parolu, that I may or might speak, the tense being sufficiently
indicated by the antecedent verb.

For the imperative we use the subjunctive without conjunction and
generally without subject.

The participle has a most ingenious flexbility, it having three forms,
anta, inta, onta for the active, and ata, ita, ota for the passive;
parolanta, speaking now; parolinta, having spoken; parolonta, about to
be speaking; parolata, being spoken now; parolita, spoken formerly;
parolota, to be spoken later.
