Abstract

The study examines the mechanism of verbal agreement, case, and their interactions in Pashto language. The finite verb in Pashto always agrees with the nominative SUBJect, if there is one, otherwise, it agrees with nominative OBJect. It confirms default agreement if the nominative case is not available in the clause and the case values are ERGative and DATive respectively having past tense or non-past with perfective and imperfective aspects. Pashto language prefers agreement with that of a SUBJect, if two available nominal expressions in the clause, are in the nominative case.
