With the exception of the verb ''to be'', English shows distinctive agreements only in the third person singular, present tense form of verbs, which are marked by adding "-s" ( ''walk'''s''''') or "-es" (''fish'''es'''''). The rest of the persons are not distinguished in the verb (''I walk'', ''you walk'', ''they walk'', etc.). [[Latin]] and the [[Romance languages]] inflect verbs for [[tense–aspect–mood]] (abbreviated 'TAM'), and they agree in person and number (but not in gender, as for example in [[Polish language|Polish]]) with the subject. [[Japanese language|Japanese]], like many languages with [[subject–object–verb|SOV]] word order, inflects verbs for tense-aspect-mood, as well as other categories such as negation, but shows absolutely no agreement with the subject—it is a strictly [[dependent-marking language]]. On the other hand, [[Basque language|Basque]], [[Georgian language|Georgian]], and some other languages, have ''[[polypersonal agreement]]'': the verb agrees with the subject, the direct object, and even the secondary object if present, a greater degree of [[head-marking language|head-marking]] than is found in [[Standard Average European|most European]] languages.
