6 Aspects of Verbs

What’s In

Verbs are words that shows action.


The verb tense place the verb in time. The three major tenses are past, present and future.
Sometimes it helps a kid to think that the past as “yesterday”, the present as “ today”, and
the future as “ tomorrow”
Look at the sample below.

Past Present Future

What I Need to Know

Objective: Compose clear and coherent sentences using


appropriate grammatical structures – aspects of verb
EN5G-1a-3.3

1
What’s New
Aspects of verb are determined by whether the verb expresses a fact, an
ongoing action, a completed action, or the end of ongoing action.
Read the following sentences and notice the difference between the underlined words.

The three aspects are:


1. The simple aspect is indefinite, not sure if the action is on-going or
completed. It may also indicate if the action is habitual or repeated
action.
2. In the perfect aspect the task is already completed.
3. While in the progressive aspect, the action is still taking place or on-
going.

 I wash the car.


 I am washing the car.
 I have washed the car.

1. What have you noticed about the words?


2. What does this remind you about verbs?

What Is It

Let us study the following sentences.


1. In the sentence “I wash the car.”, wash, which is the verb, is in the simple
form. The time when the action is indefinite or it is unsure if it is on-going or
completed. Thus, this sentence is in the simple aspect of the verb.

2. While in the sentence “I am washing the car”, washing, which is the verb, is
in the present progressive form, which tells us that the action is on-going.

3. On the other hand, the sentence “I have washed the car.”, have washed, being
in the present perfect, tells us that the action has just been done or completed.
These sentences are in the present tense, if we are to write it in past tense, we would
have.
 I was washing the car. – simple past
 I had washed the car. – past perfect
 I had been washing the car. – past perfect progressive
What’s More
Task 2. Complete the paragraph with the correct form of verbs in the
parentheses. Use the present progressive aspect.

Right now, I ( work ) ___________ on my assignment. My brother


Frank ( repair ) ___________ his bike. Father ( help ) _________ him
inflate the tires. Great ! I have an idea now. Why don’t I write about
biking? I am going to ask my uncle who is the mechanical engineer.
He ( work ) _________ in a company that manufactures bicycles and
motorbikes. Uncle mike surely knows how a bicycle started.
Meanwhile , I ( write ) the questions that I will ask him.

Task 3. Try and answer the following. Write the correct aspect of the verb
for the following sets of sentences.
1. walk (present)
a. SJ __________ to school. (simple)
b. SJ ________________ to school. (present progressive)
c. SJ ________________ to school. (present perfect)
2. cook (present)

1. What is the conjunction used in the first example?


2. In the second example what is the conjunction use?

What’s New

Conjunctions are a part of speech that joins two words, phrases or clauses together.
There are three types of conjunctions:
Coordinating Correlative
Common Subordinating Conjunctions
Conjunctions Conjunctions

for either...or after


and neither...nor before
nor not only...but although
but also though
or both...and even
though
yet whether...or
as much as
so
as long as
as soon as
because
since
so that

What Is It

Example no.1 used Coordinating conjunction.


It is used to give equal emphasis to a pair of main clauses. Let us remember the
acronym
FANBOYS.
( for, and, nor, but, or, yet and so)

Example no.2 used Subordinating conjunction.

It is a conjunction that used to join independent clause and dependent clause. The
most common subordinating conjunctions are: after, although, as, because, before, how, if,
once, since, than, that, though, till, until, when, where, whether, while.

Coordinating conjunctions also called coordinators, are conjunctions that connect two or
more equal items.
Examples:
He plays tennis and soccer
Correlative conjunctions are used in pairs. They work in pairs to coordinate two items.
Examples:

I didn't know that she can neither read nor write.

Subordinating conjunctions, also called subordinators, are conjunctions that join a


dependent (or subordinating) clause to an independent (or main) clause.

Examples:

He reads the newspapers after  he finishes work..

"So" is a small English word that can have different meanings. As mentioned in the
table above, it is commonly used as a coordinator rather than as a subordinating
conjunction. There are, however, instances when "so" may introduce purpose and in
this case "so" is used as a subordinating conjunction.
Examples:
"I took my umbrella with me so I wouldn't get wet."
" I stayed so I could see you."

to discuss the problem.
4. They said that the movie was fantastic _________I
