- 15. • Recognizing theverb is often the most important step in understanding the meaning of a sentence. In the sentence The dog bit the man, bit is the verb and the word which shows the action of the sentence. In the sentence The 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 She is a smart girl, there is no action but a state of being expressed by the verb is. The word be is different from other verbs in many ways but can still be thought of as a verb.
- 16. Types of verbs •Verbs can be classified, according to their function, into ordinary and auxiliary verbs. • Ordinary verbs: they are the verbs that can be conjugated and have different forms • Example • Play, eat, read, clean etc • Some have three forms: cut cuts cutting • Some have four forms: help, helps,helping,helped • Some have five forms write, writes, wrote, written,writing • And only one verb be has eight forms • Be, am, is, are, was, were, been, being

- 19. Relationship between time andverbs • One of the most important things about verbs is their relationship to time. Verbs tell if something has already happened, if it will happen later, or if it is happening now. For things happening now, we use the present tense of a verb; for something that has already happened, we use the past tense; and for something that will happen later, we use the future tense

- 21. Regular Verbs: • Thegreat majority of English verbs are regular; that is, they have four forms: • The base (the uninflected or unchanged form) play • The—s form plays • The—ing form playing • The—ed form played
- 22. Irregular Verbs: • Verbsin which all three parts (the base, the past, the past participle) are identical: let—let—let. • Verbs in which two of the three parts are identical: build—built—built. • Verbs in which all three parts are different: speak—spoke—spoken.
- 23. Transitive and Intransitive Verbs: •A verb that requires an object for meaning is called a transitive verb because the action transfers to the object. • A verb that does not require an object for meaning is called an intransitive verb because the action is complete in itself.
- 24. For example: (TV) •He poisoned the cat. • Everybody sang the national anthem. • She cleaned her house.
- 25. For example: (ITV) • John wept. • Zubair smokes. • I sleep late at night.
- 26. • Such verbsas give, ask, offer, promise, tell etc take two objects i.e. direct object and indirect object. • A verb can be used transitively or intransitively e.g. • He spoke the truth. He spoke haughtily.
