====Verbs====
Verbs have three major conjugations. Three persons and two numbers (singular and plural) are distinguished. [[subject (grammar)|Subject]] [[personal pronoun]]s are omitted unless they are emphatic.

*Some imperfective verbs are created from the stems of perfective verbs to denote repeated or habitual actions. These are considered separate [[lexemes]]. One example is as follows: to hide (perfective) = {{lang|sk|skryť}}, to hide (habitual) = {{lang|sk|skrývať}}.
*Historically, two [[past tense]] forms were utilized. Both are formed analytically. The second of these, equivalent to the [[pluperfect]], is not widely used in the modern language, being rather considered archaic. Examples for two related verbs are as follows:
:{{lang|sk|skryť: skryl som}} (I hid / I have hidden); {{lang|sk|bol som skryl}} (I had hidden)
:{{lang|sk|skrývať: skrýval som; bol som skrýval}}.
*One [[future tense]] exists. For imperfective verbs, it is formed analytically; for perfective verbs, it is identical to the present tense. Some examples are as follows:
:{{lang|sk|skryť: skryjem}}
:{{lang|sk|skrývať: budem skrývať}}
*Two [[conditional mood|conditional]] forms exist. Both are formed analytically from the past tense:
:{{lang|sk|skryť: skryl by som}} (I would hide), {{lang|sk|bol by som skryl}} (I would have hidden)
:{{lang|sk|skrývať: skrýval by som; bol by som skrýval}}
*The [[grammatical voice|passive voice]] is formed either as in English ([[copula (linguistics)|copula]] + passive participle) or using the reflexive pronoun 'sa':
:{{lang|sk|skryť: je skrytý; sa skryje}}
:{{lang|sk|skrývať: je skrývaný; sa skrýva}}
*The [[passive participle]] (= ~ed (one), the "third form") is formed using the suffixes -{{lang|sk|ný}} / -{{lang|sk|tý}} / -{{lang|sk|ený}}:
:{{lang|sk|skryť: skrytý}}
:{{lang|sk|skrývať: skrývaný}}
*The active [[present participle]] (= ~ing (one)) is formed using the suffixes -{{lang|sk|úci}} / -{{lang|sk|iaci}} / -{{lang|sk|aci}}
:{{lang|sk|skryť: skryjúci}}
:{{lang|sk|skrývať: skrývajúci}}
*The [[Transgressive (linguistics)|transgressive]] (=(while/by) ...ing) is formed using the suffixes -{{lang|sk|úc}} / -{{lang|sk|uc}} / -{{lang|sk|iac/-ac}}.{{clarify|date=December 2012}}<!-- is this still used in Slovak or is it archaic? -->
:{{lang|sk|skryť: skryjúc}} (by hiding (perfective))
:{{lang|sk|skrývať: skrývajúc}} ((while/during) hiding)
*The active [[past participle]] (= ~ing (in the past)) was formerly formed using the suffix -{{lang|sk|vší}}, but is no longer used.
*The [[gerund]] (= the (process of) ...ing) is formed using the suffix -{{lang|sk|ie}}:
:{{lang|sk|skryť: skrytie}}
:{{lang|sk|skrývať: skrývanie}}
