		Few introductions to syntax or linguistics in general even mention the grammatical categories of tense, aspect, mood, case, number, gender and voice, or transitivity, to use the current term.
		All reference grammars for non-native learners covertly use theories of tense, aspect, etc. and a useful exercise for students of languages and linguistics is to compare a given reference grammar with theoretical work on a given category.
		Speakers and writers use differences in voice/transitivity to exclude agents or patients or both from the representation of events.

	Ergativity in Suleimaniye Kurdish
		In the past tense, agreement is split along lines of transitivity: in a past-tense intransitive sentence, a Set 1 clitic on the verb indicates agreement with the subject; however, in a past-tense transitive sentence, a Set 1 clitic on the verb refers to the direct object of the verb, and not to the agent.
		Ergativity in the morphology of a language manifests itself through the means employed for marking (identifying) grammatical function [ Anderson 1976:3 ].
		The verb /wâ lê kirdin/ obviously treats subject and agent as a single category, with these two relations able to delete, but not to control deletion, and the relation of object able to control deletion, but not to delete.
