What are the three forms of verb memorize?
verb (used with object), mem·o·rized, mem·o·riz·ing. to commit to memory; learn by heart: to memorize a poem.
Which principal part is used to form the three perfect tenses?
Latin perfect-tense verbs are formed by adding distinct endings representing the three different perfect tenses (perfect, pluperfect, future perfect) to the perfect base of a verb which is obtained by dropping the -i from the end of the third principal part of the verb..
Can we use past perfect alone?
Contrary to popular belief, past perfect tense can stand alone without another clause. The basic formula when writing in past perfect form is: had + [past participle]. The past perfect does require a reference to a point in time in the past, but we can do that with a prepositional phrase.
