When he learned English, he realised that verb conjugations were unnecessary, and that grammatical systems could be much simpler than he had expected.

When, for example, we use a verb to function as the action done by a subject, many languages require conjugating the verb to reflect that meaning.

When the verb is active, the nominative is the person or thing doing the action ( agent ); when the verb is passive, the nominative is the person or thing receiving the action.

When used as a verb, " va chier " ( literally: go shit ), it does not mean to excrete but rather to " fuck off ".

When expressing possibility, English speakers often use potentially pleonastic expressions such as: It may be possible or maybe it's possible, where both terms ( verb may / adverb maybe and adjective possible ) have the same meaning under certain constructions.

When used as a verb, " effect " refers to the cause of a change, or as a synonym for " created " or " made " (" The governor effected a change in policy "); while " affect " refers to the consequences of that change (" The new policy really affected our family ").

When thou is the grammatical subject of a finite verb in the indicative mood, the verb form ends on t, most often with the ending -( e ) st ( e. g., " thou goest "; " thou dost "), but in some cases just-t ( e. g., " thou art "; " thou shalt ").

When an adverbial modifies a verb, it changes the meaning of that verb.

When the element is a preposition, it is the head of a full prepositional phrase and the phrasal verb is a thus a prepositional phrasal verb.

A number a is a root of P if and only if the polynomial x − a ( of degree one in x ) divides P. It may happen that x − a divides P more than once: if ( x − a )< sup > 2 </ sup > divides P then a is called a multiple root of P, and otherwise a is called a simple root of P. If P is a nonzero polynomial, there is a highest power m such that ( x − a )< sup > m </ sup > divides P, which is called the multiplicity of the root a in P. When P is the zero polynomial, the corresponding polynomial equation is trivial, and this case is usually excluded when considering roots: with the above definitions every number would be a root of the zero polynomial, with undefined ( or infinite ) multiplicity.

When deriving English words from their Greek or Latin roots the gender specific ending ( in this case "- on ," which indicates the word is neuter ) is normally dropped, using only the root of the word in the derivation.

When the length of vectors is defined, it is possible to also define a dot product — a scalar-valued product of two vectors — which gives a convenient algebraic characterization of both length ( the square root of the dot product of a vector by itself ) and angle ( a function of the dot product between any two vectors ).
