Azkali verbs fall into one of three different conjugation paradigms: these are almost universally referred to as ''declension-groups'' in Azkali grammars (though 1, 2, and 3 conjugations are sometimes used). The finite forms of all Azkali verbs varies widely between the three declension groups. Essentially all non-finite forms of verbs (with a few isolated exceptions) are identical to eachother, however.

In Azkali, both tense and mood are marked in a single affix that attaches to the verb. Occasionally, tense is doubly marked as a secondary suffix: see '''Seperate tense markings'''.
