The Verbs

The verbs are:

a word used to describe an action, state, or occurrence, It is a part of

speech and can be divided into regular and irregular, transitive and
intransitive verbs, there are reflexive, auxiliary, and modal verbs,
among others, which we will see below.
 The regular verbs:

A regular verb is a verb that follows a predictable pattern

when it changes tense. In English, you can usually form the
past tense of a regular verb by simply adding the suffix "-
ed" or "-d" to the end of the verb without changing its stem.
This applies to both the simple past tense and the past
participle.
For example:
Some examples of regular verbs are:

-Ask -> Asked

-Kick -> Kicked

-Hunt -> Hunted

 The irregular verbs:

a verb that does not follow the normal pattern of inflection.

Irregular verbs do not follow the -ed pattern and have their
own unique past tense forms and participles. In other words,
these verbs have their own writing style.
For example:
Some examples of irregular verbs are:

-Give -> Gave

-Fall -> Fell

-Drive -> Drove

A verb can be described as transitive or intransitive based on whether it
requires an object to express a complete thought or not. A transitive
verb is one that only makes sense if it exerts its action on an object.
An intransitive verb will make sense without one. Some verbs may be used
both ways.
Transitive Verbs:

Transitive verbs use a direct object, which is a

noun that receives the action of the verb. This
is a verb that affects a person or an object. It
indicates that something or someone other
than the subject has been affected by the
action represented in the verb of the sentence.
For example:
Some other examples of transitive verbs are "address,"
"borrow," "bring," "discuss," "raise," "offer," "pay,"
"write," "promise," and "have."

- The instructor responded to the student's question.

- Miriam borrowed her classmate's methodology book

because she forgot her copy.
Reflexive and ireflexive verbs

Reflexive Non-reflexive

A reflexive verb is a transitive Non-reflexive verbs is a

verb whose subject and object transitive verb that express
always refer to the same person or that an action is performed by
thing, so the object is always a a subject and received by a
reflexive pronoun. different object.
Intransitive Verbs:

This is a verb that can indicate an action

without the need for an object.
In other words, an intransitive verb does not
affect a person or an object because it does not
pass from a subject to an object, as transitive
verbs do.
For example:
Some examples of intransitive verbs are “live,” “cry,”
“laugh,” “stand,” and “wait.”

- The child cried.

- The cat slept.
- The bird died.
Auxiliary verbs:

Auxiliary verbs are a type of verb that take a supporting role

in a sentence, second to the main verb. They are mainly used
to create complex grammatical tenses, such as the perfect and
continuous tenses, which show different aspects of time or
how long an action lasts.
 Main auxiliars verbs:

The main auxiliary verbs are be, do and have. However, all three can also
be used separately as action verbs.

sentences. the passive voice. perfect
 To be
The verb to be means to exist, to occur, or to have the
characteristics of something. It is the most common
verb in English, partly due to its additional uses in
grammar: to be verbs can be auxiliary verbs that help
create other tenses, or linking verbs that help describe
the subject of a sentence.

The modal verbs:

Modal verbs are used to express certain hypothetical

conditions, such as advice, capacity, or requests.
They are used together with a main verb to slightly
change its meaning. Because they are auxiliary verbs,
they cannot necessarily be used on their own.

 FORMS OF THE VERB

The principal forms of the verb are:

- Base
- Past tense
- Past participle
- Present participle
- Third-person singular
Base
The base form of a verb is the verb as is, without
changes or conjugations. In other words, no suffixes
have been added to it.

For example:
run, enjoy, talk, giggle, hang, love, jump, clap, cuddle,
scream, watch, travel, cough, sing, and many more.
Past tense
The past tense in English describes events that have
already happened. To form the past tense in English, take
the present tense of the word and add the suffix "-ed" or
"-d."

For example:
To make the verb "walk" past tense, add "-ed" and you
get "walked".
Past participle
The past participle of a verb is one of two past forms.
The past participle is used in two main ways:
-As adjective
-To create past verb forms
The past participle is used in various tenses, especially in
perfect forms.

For example:
Present Perfect: You've met Bill before.
Present simple tense
A present tense is a form of the verb that occurs at the
present moment that is represented by the base form or the
inflection "-s" of the third person singular, in contrast to the
past and future tenses.

For example:
Izzy drinks milk every night before going to bed.
Third person singular
The third person singular verb ending is the suffix -s or -
es which is conventionally added to the base form of a
present tense verb when it follows a third person singular
subject.

For example:

"She waits and watches".
