The imperative mood and equivalents for English can / should / must / have to can also be found. The present and the past participles can be used as adjectives (they undergo declination). Similarly, the perfect tense can be formed using a number of auxiliaries. It is interesting to note that like English, but unlike Sanskrit, Latin, French, German, Russian, etc., Hindustani possesses the continuous tense for all-present, past and future. Hindustani uses both end-inflections in the verb-stem and auxiliary verbs for conjugation. There are three main tenses: present, past and future. As in many other languages, this form can be used as a noun (masculine gender, and declined likewise). The infinitive form of any verb ends with ना / نا / na. Hindustani has a peculiarity that not only the number, but also the gender of the noun or the pronoun may be shown by the verb.
