{{main|Tagalog grammar#Verbs}}

Like many [[Austronesian languages]], the verbs of the [[Philippine languages]] follow a complex system of affixes to express subtle changes in meaning. However, the verbs in this family of languages are conjugated to express the aspects and not the tenses. Though many of the [[Philippine languages]] do not have a fully codified grammar, most of them follow the verb aspects that are demonstrated by [[Filipino language|Filipino]] or [[Tagalog language|Tagalog]].
