======Active verbs======
As the chart above shows, there is no person-number agreement for third person arguments. Consider the following paradigms:

{| class="wikitable" style="border: none; text-align: center;" 
|+ hablitok ("kicked", past tense)
|-

# {{note|v1}} When the subject and object refer to the same thing or person ([[coreference]]), the reflexive ''ili-'' prefix is mandatory and used in place of the coreferent object.

Transitive active verbs seemingly with class III direct objects:

* ''Am-anoli-tok'' 'She/he/it/they told me.'
* ''Chim-anoli-tok'' 'She/he/it/they told you.'
* ''Im-anoli-tok'' 'She/he/it/they told him/her/it/them.'
* ''Pim-anoli-tok'' 'She/he/it/they told us.'
* ''Hachim-anoli-tok'' 'She/he/it/they told y'all.'

When a [[transitive verb]] occurs with more than one agreement prefix, I prefixes precede II and III prefixes:

{{interlinear
| lang = cho
| indent = 2
| top = {{lang|cho|Iichipi̱satok.}}|Ii- chi- pi̱sa -tok|1P.I- 2S.II- see{{angbr|{{gcl|NGR|n-grade}}}} -PT|'We saw you.'
}}

{{interlinear
| lang = cho
| indent = 2
| top = {{lang|cho|Ishpimanoolitok.}}|Ish- pim- anooli -tok.|2S.I- 1P.III- tell -PT|'You told us.'
}}

For intransitive verbs, the subjects of active verbs typically have class I agreement. Because third-person objects are unmarked, intransitive active verbs are indistinguishable in form from transitive active verbs with a third-person direct object.
