Hello,
This is really a crazy question - sorry!!
If I want to create a list of verbs (for learning purpose) I can make a list that includes active and passive forms for ALL verbs. But for many verbs you can create the passive forms by knowing the active forms. So I dont see the reason for doing both!
If - for instance - the goal is to show the 8 indicative forms of the verb then my proposal is to do only the following types:
- active verbs
- passive verbs where the action is done to the subject
- deponent verbs (passive form with active meaning)
- refleksive verbs in passive (example I comb my hair)
AND NOT the passive form of ordinary active verbs. Do you agree that the above mentioned verbs are sufficient?
Best Regards
Lars
