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

I rode my bike yesterday I ride my bike I will ride my bike

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.

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.

Read the following sentences and notice the difference between the underlined words.
 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

2
 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)

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:

10
 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."

What’s More

A. Write the correct conjunction to complete the sentence.

1. I need to work hard _________ I pass the exam.

B.
2. _________ he was the best candidate, he didn’t win
the elections.

3. _________ you come back from your trip, we’ll meet

to discuss the problem.

4. They said that the movie was fantastic _________I

watched it.

5. _________ he was very ill, he didn’t take any

medicine.
Complete each sentence using the subordinating conjunction from the parenthesis:

1.We are leaving Wednesday _________ or not it rains. (if, whether, though)
2.Pay attention to your work _________ you will not make mistakes. (so that, unless,
or)
3.The musicians delivered a rousing performance _________ they had rehearsed
often. (though, as, once)
4.She’s honest _________ everyone trusts her. (if, so, when)
5.Write this down _________ you forget. (or, when, lest)
