Editing Defective verb (section)

== Catalan ==
In [[Catalan language|Catalan]], defective verbs are usually defective for semantic reasons.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www2.iec.cat/institucio/seccions/Filologica/gramatica/morfologia/20VerbsIrregulars.pdf|title=Morfologia flexiva|publisher=[[Institute of Catalan Studies|IEC]]|access-date=2011-10-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110902190513/http://www2.iec.cat/institucio/seccions/Filologica/gramatica/morfologia/20VerbsIrregulars.pdf|archive-date=2011-09-02}}</ref> Due to their impersonal nature, [[wikt:haver-hi|haver-hi]] and [[wikt:caldre|caldre]] are only used in the third person. The implicit repetition intrinsic to the meaning of [[wikt:soler#Catalan|soler]] results in it only having forms in the present and imperfect tenses. Verbs pertaining to meteorological phenomena, such as [[wikt:ploure|ploure]], can only be conjugated in the third person singular, although a third person plural form is also possible when used with a metaphorical sense. Additionally, [[wikt:lleure|lleure]] is used only in the third person, while [[wikt:dar#Catalan|dar]] lacks present tense forms, with the exceptions of the first person plural and second person plural. Defective verbs in Catalan can generally also be used in the impersonal forms of the infinitive, gerund, and past participle.
