Verb clause for someone else?


I swear there was a certain verb clause for the actions of someone else.

Eg how do I say "He thought it was good?"

Sorry for noobishness :3




For action verbs like in your examples I'm not aware of any need to change the
verb form to match the pronoun:

> (私は)笑っている and (彼女は)笑っている

both use the same verb conjugation.

Are you perhaps thinking about expressing the thoughts and feelings of others?
You cannot directly state what someone else is feeling because it is assumed
that this is something you cannot know. So you can say:

> (私は)犬がほしい

but not

> *(彼女は)犬が欲しい

In the latter case you would need to add

> がる = "show signs of"

to the verb, (for some reason I don't understand) change が to を e.g.

> 彼女は犬を欲しがっている
