		Ergative Verbs "The man is opening the door", "The man is laughing at the joke"; "The man is cooking dinner", "The man is cooking", "The meat is cooking"; "The water tastes bad", "I taste the water".
		To establish a context for evaluating these unusual verbs, consider the first two non-ergative sentences which are respectively transitive and intransitive.
		Modal verbs are a closed set which qualify the possibility, capability and necessity of a specific act or class of acts occurring (1).

	AUE: FAQ excerpt: "try and", "be sure and", "go" + verb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		These colloquial constructions are synonymous, or nearly so, with "try to", "be sure to", and "go and" respectively, those equivalents being undisputedly acceptable in both formal and informal style.
		"Go" + bare infinitive was used by Shakespeare ("I'll go see if the bear be gone"; "I'll go buy spices for our sheep-shearing") but is now nearly confined to informal American usage, and elsewhere to a few fixed expressions ("hide and go seek", "He can go hang for all I care").
		Fowler wrote, "It is an idiom that should not be discountenanced, but used when it comes natural"; but he also wrote that it is "almost confined to exhortations and promises", and these are more common in informal than in formal contexts.

	Verbs
		In English, most verbs have only four or five different forms: e.g., "walk, walks, walked, walking", or "see, sees, saw, seen, seeing"; be is the verb with the most forms: "be, am, is, are, was, were, been, being".
		What qualifies a verb as irregular is some change in its stem in one or more of its tenses (c.f., "go" in past tense = "went", which doesn't use the same stem).
		In Spanish, there is a lot more information provided by verb endings: as mentioned previously, verb endings indicate who is performing the action (person/number), when it is being performed (tense/aspect), the certainty of the speaker (mood), and the importance of the subject or agent (voice).

	Go (verb) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The verb to go is irregular, and apart from be is the only suppletive verb in English.
		Windan is not surprisingly the source of the modern verb, wind, (whose preterit and past participle is wound.) The original preterit of windan was *wand-, and windan had a causative form, wendan (meaning "to cause to wind", or "to cause to become wound").
		For much of their histories, wend and wind have had the sense of going, and thus it is not surprising that wend eventually came to have the sense of go.

	Suzette Haden Elgin: Real World Linguistics 101 -- Lesson Five
		"Go feed" is okay with first person singular and plural ("I" and "we"), with second person singular and plural ("you"), and with third person plural ("they," "Tracy and Haj").
		Rule 1, Revised: The sequence "go + VERB" is not allowed with a third person singular subject, (except in questions), and is not allowed with past tense (except in questions), and is not allowed at all with progressive aspect.
		Sometimes it's "-es" as in "Haj goes feed the dragon every morning"; sometimes it's "-ing," as in "I'm going feed the dragon right away." Sometimes it's "-ed," as in "*Yesterday we went feed the dragon"; the way we spell "go+ed" in English is "went," and the two things are equivalent.

		The verb is converted to an auxiliary and participle.
		Confusion about the use of this intransitive verb is common because it has the bad taste to take the same form as the present tense of the transitive verb lay.
		It takes a singular verb when it refers to the decisions or actions of the individuals it comprises and a plural verb when it refers to the decisions or actions of the collective.

		"have to go" is the predicate of the sentence which includes the inflected present tense form of "have" and the infinitive form of the full verb with "to".
		So to say that ' have ' is the verb and ' to go now ' is the ' noun phrase ' means we break up the ' have ' and ' to ' for analysis.

	The Verb 'To Be'
		The verb “To be” most frequently works in conjunction with another verb: “He is playing the piano,” “She will be arriving this afternoon.” Occasionally, though, the verb will stand by itself, alone, in a sentence.
		Passive verb constructions are useful when the subject of an action is not as important as what the subject did (the action of the sentence) or when the subject is unknown.
		Verb phrases containing "be" verbs are often merely roundabout ways of saying something better said with a simple verb.

	LINGUIST List 9.1298: Go+AND+Verb Constructions
		The English go+and+verb construction Dictionaries and descriptive grammars suggest that the go+and+verb construction serves to express that the action described by the second verb is "thoughtless, unfortunate, or silly" (Random House), "foolish, unreasonable, or unlucky" (OED), or that it indicates "surprise or shock, often showing disapproval" on the part of the speaker (Newbury House).
		Finally, English coordinated verb constructions in general are sometimes claimed to "belong[] to informal style" and in many cases to "have a derogatory connotation" (Quirk et al.'s Comprehensive Grammar of English).
		The verbs 'gaa' ('go/walk'), 'sidde' ('sit'), and 'ligge' ('lie') apparently retain their lexical semantics to different degrees: the latter two actually require that the subject of the sentence be sitting/lying while carrying out the action denoted by the second verb.

		In the south, one is more likely to hear a Munster version of this seanfhocal, "Sláinte na bhfear is go maire na mná go deo." In this version, the genitive plural is used, 'na bhfear' (of the men).
		For example, to form the subjunctive form of the verb 'beir' (give birth to), it is eclipsed, the vowel 'e' is appended, and the particle 'go' is put in front.
		The verb 'go maire' is also in the subjunctive form.
