Note on the Conjugation.
The Second Person Singular forms which begin with Thou, and Third Person Singular of the Present Indefinite ending in -eth, are old forms which are no longer used. Instead of the forms beginning with Thou, we use the Second Person Plural for the Second Person Singular. And instead of the form ending in -eth, we now use the forms ending in -s or -es.
Thus instead of Thou teachest, He teacheth (He cometh) etc., we say You teach, He teaches (He comes) etc.
In the Subjunctive Mood the colloquial forms are the same as those of the Indicative. Thus:
