Abstract
Grammarians distinguish between the use of sein (“to be”) as a main verb and as an auxiliary verb. They similarly distinguish between such uses of werden (“to become”) and haben (“to have”), depending on whether one says ein Ding wird (“a thing becomes”) or ein Ding hat (“a thing has”) or ein Ding wird sein (“a thing will be”), ein Ding wird tun (“a thing will do”) and ein Ding hat getan (“a thing has done”). They seem to regard the wird in ein Ding wird tätig (“a thing becomes active”) as a main verb.
