Quotes by Bas Aarts (?)

“It is because the verb BE has a plain form which does not share its shape with any of the present tense forms that we need to distinguish the plain form as a distinct inflectional form. And if we do so for BE we should do so for all verbs.”
― Bas Aarts, Oxford Modern English Grammar
