What are Verbs?,[object Object],The verb is king in English. The shortest sentence contains a verb. ,[object Object],You can make a one-word sentence with a verb, for example: "Stop!" You cannot make a one-word sentence with any other type of word.,[object Object]
Verbs,[object Object],Verbs are sometimes described as "action words".,[object Object],This is partly true. Many verbs give the idea of action, of "doing" something. For example, words like run, fight, do and work all convey action.,[object Object]
But some verbs do not give the idea of action; they give the idea of existence, of state, of "being". For example, verbs like be, exist, seem and belong all convey state.,[object Object]
Verbs,[object Object],A verb always has a subject. In simple terms, therefore, we can say that verbs are words that tell us what a subject does or is; they describe:,[object Object],action (Ram plays football.) ,[object Object],state (Anthony seems kind.) ,[object Object]
Verbs,[object Object],Most other words (adjectives, adverbs, prepositions etc) do not change in form (although nouns can have singular and plural forms). But almost all verbs change in form. ,[object Object],The verb to work has five forms:,[object Object],to work, work, works, worked, working,[object Object]
VerbClassification,[object Object],We divide verbs into two broad classifications:,[object Object],1. Helping Verbs,[object Object],2. Main Verbs,[object Object],br />
Helping verbs,[object Object],Imagine that a stranger walks into your room and says:,[object Object],I can. ,[object Object],People must. ,[object Object],The Earth will. ,[object Object],Do you understand anything?,[object Object],They "help" the main verb. ,[object Object]
2. Main Verbs,[object Object],I teach. ,[object Object],People eat. ,[object Object],The Earth rotates. ,[object Object],Do you understand something? Probably yes! Not a lot, but something. have meaning on their own. They tell us something. ,[object Object], ,[object Object]
Helping Verbs,[object Object],Primary helping verbs (3 verbs),[object Object],Weuse them in thefollowing cases:,[object Object],be,[object Object],to make continuous tenses (He is watching TV.) ,[object Object],to make the passive (Small fish are eaten by big fish.) ,[object Object]
Helping Verbs,[object Object],Have,[object Object],to make perfect tenses (I have finished my homework.) ,[object Object],do,[object Object],to make negatives (I do not like you.) ,[object Object],to ask questions (Do you want some coffee?),[object Object],to show emphasis (I do want you to pass your exam.) ,[object Object]
Modal helping verbs (10 verbs),[object Object],“Modify" main verb. It expresses necessity or possibility.,[object Object],can, could ,[object Object],may, might ,[object Object],will, would, ,[object Object],shall, should ,[object Object],must ,[object Object],ought to ,[object Object]
Semi-modal verbs (3 verbs),[object Object],The following verbs are often called "semi-modals" because they are partly like modal helping verbs and partly like main verbs: ,[object Object],need ,[object Object],dare ,[object Object],used to,[object Object]
