periphrastically

The other forms are produced from these and from the active forms periphrastically.

Other tenses can be formed periphrastically, with the use of auxiliary verbs.

Some of these take subject indices just like verbal predicates, but tense can only be expressed periphrastically in such sentences.

First and third person imperatives are expressed periphrastically, using a construction with the imperative of the verb let:

All other mood/tense/aspect combinations are produced periphrastically using the auxiliary kam (have) and indeclinable particles.

This is unusual from a Western viewpoint, though one parallel is that new Basque verbs are only formed periphrastically.

Synthetically conjugated verbs like 'come' can also be conjugated periphrastically (etortzen naiz).

Numbers greater than 100 are expressed periphrastically in speech, while Içtaîl has logograms for the numbers 1 to 100 and for even powers of 100.

English is a synthetic language, which means it has limited ability to express these categories by verb inflection, and often conveys such information periphrastically, using auxiliary verbs.

The imperative here refers to second-person forms; constructions for other persons may be formed periphrastically, e.g. Let's (let us) go; Let them eat cake.

Possessive relationships can also be expressed periphrastically, by preceding the noun or noun phrase with the preposition of, although possessives are usually more idiomatic where a true relationship of possession is involved.

Some languages that mark for past tense do so by inflecting the verb, while others do so periphrastically using auxiliary verbs (and some do both, as in the example of French given above).
