[verb][pronoun][tense modifier]
Verbs do not need to have both a target of an action and an action source, but a verb not in the infinitive form needs a target or a source.
Verb Tense Modifiers:
a (present) o (past) i (future)
Irregular Verb Conjugation:
In the case where a verb ends in the same letter as the first letter in the desired source or target pronoun, an apostrophe is inserted between the end of the infinitive verb and the beginning of the pronoun, denoting a mental break and a verbal re-annunciation of the consonant sound.
