This article shows the constructions and functional differences between Realis and Irrealis in linguistics. the Realis / irrealis distinction noted in pronominal prefix forms of verbs in Uzbek (e.g.) may not be functionally compatible with other morphological differences in English. the distribution of irrealis information in English and Uzbek into lexical categories within a sentence is not considered to be the opposite of a verb. A pronoun meaning a subject can mean a secondary meaning to represent someone as a subject of speech.
