VERB DEFINITION AND EXERCISES:

 

Verbs are words that express action, occurrence, or state of being in a sentence.

 

Action Verbs:

These verbs describe actions performed by the subject of the sentence.

For example:

She runs every morning.

He wrote a novel.

They are playing soccer.

 

 

Linking Verbs:

Linking verbs connect the subject of the sentence with a subject complement, which describes or renames the subject.

Common linking verbs include be (am, is, are, was, were, etc.), seem, become, appear, etc.

For example:

She is a doctor.

The flowers smell sweet.

He became a teacher.

 

 

 

Helping Verbs (Auxiliary Verbs):

Helping verbs are used with main verbs to express shades of meaning such as tense, mood, voice, or emphasis.

Common helping verbs include have, has, had, do, does, did, will, would, shall, should, can, could, may, might, must, etc.

For example:

She is eating dinner.

They have finished their homework.

He will go to the party.

 

 

 

 

Transitive and Intransitive Verbs:

Verbs can be transitive or intransitive.

Transitive verbs require a direct object to complete their meaning. For example:

She ate pizza. (The verb ate requires the object pizza.)

 

Intransitive verbs do not require a direct object.

For example:

He sleeps.

 

 

 

 

 

Verb Tense:

Verbs can express different time frames through tense.

 

The Main Tenses are:

Present Indefinite: I eat.

Past Indefinite: I ate.

Future Indefinite: I will eat.

Future Indefinite in the Past: I would eat

 

 

Present Continuous: I am eating.

Past Continuous: I was eating.

Future Continuous: I will be eating.

Future Continuous in the Past: I would be eating.

 

 

Present Perfect: I have eaten.

Past Perfect: I had eaten.

Future Perfect: I will have eaten.

Future Perfect in the Past: I would have eaten

 

 

Present Perfect Continuous: I have been eating

Past Perfect Continuous: I had been eating

Future Perfect Continuous: I will have been eating

Future Perfect Continuous in the Past: I would have been eating

 

 

 

 

 

 

Verb Agreement:

Verbs must agree with their subjects in terms of number and person.

For example:

She walks. (Singular subject)

They walk. (Plural subject)

 

 

 

 

 

Voice:

Verbs can also express the voice of the action, indicating whether the subject performs the action (active voice) or receives the action (passive voice).

 

Active Voice:

In active voice sentences, the subject performs the action expressed by the verb.

For example:

The chef cooked the meal.

She painted the picture.

They are building a house.

 

Passive Voice: In passive voice sentences, the subject receives the action expressed by the verb.

The structure typically involves a form of to be plus the past participle of the main verb.

For example:

The meal was cooked by the chef.

The picture was painted by her.

A house is being built by them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Regular and irregular verbs:

are two categories of verbs based on their patterns of conjugation in different tenses.

 

Regular Verbs:

Regular verbs follow a predictable pattern when conjugated in different tenses.

They typically form their past tense and past participle by adding

–ed to the base form of the verb.

Examples:

Base Form: walk, talk, play

Past Tense: walked, talked, played

Past Participle: walked, talked, played

 

 

Irregular Verbs:

Irregular verbs have unique forms for their past tense and past participle.

Examples:

Base Form: go, eat, sing

Past Tense: went, ate, sang

Past Participle: gone, eaten, sung
