 Forms of verb

 

 

A word used to describe an action, state, or occurrence is called verb. It explains when the work happened i.e. in present time or in past time or will happen in future. Learning forms of verb is essential for speaking and writing correct English.

There are up to five forms for each verb 

1. root /base verb,

2. Past verb,

3. Past participle verb,

4. third-person singular verb,

5. present participle verb.

        

       Base verb form is the basic form. Base has not been conjugated and do not include prefixes or suffixes. The base form of a verb is used to create other forms of the verb. This is always true with regular verbs, but may not true with irregular verbs, depending on the tense. 

      Action, work, say, orbit. etc

           The past and past participle forms of verb refer to action or events in the past. They can be regular verbs that simple ends with “d” or “ed”. They can be irregular and change their spelling to show the past tense.

1. Marriyam accepted the honour on his behalf. (accept- accepted)

2. She wrote a letter.  (write - wrote)

3. Amir begged for his forgiveness. (begg- begged)

 

           The third person singular verb form tends to be different from other conjugations. For regular verbs, this verb form end in –‘s’ or sometime –‘es’

1. She walks in the garden. (walk - walks)
2. He goes to school.    (go - goes) 

3. Marriyam accepts the honour on his behalf. (accept - accepts)

 

 

            The present participle verb form is created by adding -ing to the base verb.  The present participle is used in the past, present, and future progressive verb tenses. Below are some examples.

 

1. Amir is walking on the street. (Walk – walking)

2. Amir was watching serial yesterday.  (watch – watching)

3. Aman and Amir have been drawing for hours. (draw – drawing)
