& verb is often de0ned as a word which shows action or state of being. !he verb is

the heart of a sentence G every sentence must have a verb. /ecogni>ing the verb is

often the most important step in understanding the meaning of a sentence. In the

sentence !he dog bit the man, bit is the verb and the word which shows the action

of the sentence. In the sentence !he man is sitting on a chair, even though the

action doesn"t show much activity, sitting is the verb of the sentence. In the

sentence 3he is a smart girl, there is no action but a state of being e4pressed by the

verb is. !he word be is diJerent from other verbs in many ways but can still be

thought of as a verb.

Anli'e most of the other parts of speech, verbs change their form. 3ometimes

endings are added (learn G learned) and sometimes the word itself becomes

diJerent (teach7taught). !he diJerent forms of verbs show diJerent meanings

related to such things as tense (past, present, future), person (0rst person, second

person, third person), number (singular, plural) and voice(active, passive). erbs are


14/50

also often accompanied by verb7li'e words called modals (may, could, should, etc.)

and au4iliaries(do, have, will, etc.) to give them diJerent meanings.

6ne of the most important things about verbs is their relationship to time. erbs tell

if something has already happened, if it will happen later, or if it is happening now.

or things happening now, we use the present tense of a verbK for something thathas already happened, we use the past tenseK and for something that will happen

later, we use the future tense. 3ome e4amples of verbs in each tense are in the

chart below

Lresent

loo' move tal'

Last

loo'ed moved tal'ed

uture

will loo' will move will tal'

erbs li'e those in the chart above that form the past tense by adding 7d or 7ed are

called regular verbs. 3ome of the most common verbs are not regular and the

diJerent forms of the verb must be learned. 3ome e4amples of such irregular verbs

are in the chart below

!he charts above show the simple tenses of the verbs. !here are also progressive or

continuous forms which show that the action ta'es place over a period of time, and

perfect forms which show completion of the action. !hese forms will be discussed

more in other lessons, but a few e4amples are given in the chart below

3imple present tense verbs have a special form for the third person singular.

3ingular means MoneH and plural means Mmore than one.H Lerson is used here to

show who or what does the action and can have the following forms

1st person or the self (I, we)

2nd person or the person spo'en to (you)

rd person or a person not present (he, she, it, they)

!he third person singular forms are represented by the pronouns he, she, it. !he

& verb must MagreeH with its sub8ect. 3ub8ect7verb agreement generally means that

the third person singular verb form must be used with a third person sub8ect in the

simple present tense. !he word be G the most irregular and also most common verb

in English G has diJerent forms for each person and even for the simple past tense.

!he forms of the word be are given in the chart below

Asually a sub8ect comes before a verb and an ob8ect may come after it. !he sub8ectis what does the action of the verb and the ob8ect is what receives the action. In the

sentence =ob ate a humburger, =ob is the sub8ect or the one who did the eating

and the hamburger is the ob8ect or what got eaten. & verb which has an ob8ect is

called a transitive verb and some e4amples are throw, buy, hit, love. & verb which

has no ob8ect is called an intransitive verb and some e4amples are go, come, wal',

listen.

&s you can see in the charts above, verbs are often made up of more than one

word. !he future forms, for e4ample, use the word will and the perfect forms use the

word have. !hese words are called helping or au4iliary verbs. !he word be can serve

as an au4iliary and will and shall are also au4iliary forms. !he chart below showstwo other verbs which can also be used as au4iliaries

C. A!A/E !E3E

!he A!A/E !E3E indicates that an action is in the future relative to the spea'er orwriter. !here are no in;ected forms for the future in English (nothing li'e those 7ed

or 7s endings in the other tenses). Instead, the future tense employs the helping

verbs will or shall with the base form of the verb

G 3he will leave soon.

G 9e shall overcome.

O !he future is also formed with the use of a form of MgoH plus the in0nitive of the

verb

G $e is going to faint.

O English can even use the present to suggest the future tense

G I am leaving later today.H

Oote that the au4iliary will can be combined with MbeH and a progressive form of

the main verb to create a sense of the future that does not harbor any hint of

insistence (which is possible with the au4iliary alone). or instance, if stress is

placed on the word will in M9hen will you arriveBH, the sentence can soundimpatient, insistent. In M9hen will you be arrivingBH there is less of that emotional

overtone.

!he construction form of to be X in0nitive is used to convey a sense of planning for

the future, command, or contingency.

G !here is to be an investigation into the mayor"s business aJairs.

G @ou are to be bac' on the base by midnight.

G If he is to pass this e4am, he"ll have to study harder.

O !o create a sense of imminent ful0llment, the word about can be combined with
