Presenter: Catherine Shah
Khushbu Vakhariya
Verbs
A verb is one of the most
important parts of the sentence.
It tells the subjects actions,
events, or state of being.
It is always found in the
predicate of a sentence.
A verb is a word used to
express an action, a condition,
or a state of being.
•The director squished his nose.(action)
•His noise is big.(condition)
•The director is squishing his nose.
(state of being)

1.Finite Verbs: Types
a)Action/Main/Principle Verbs:
 A verb that shows action is called an
action verb.
 The action verb tells us what the
subject does.
 The action can either be physical or
mental.
Physical Action: The farmer feeds the chickens.
Mental Action: He likes to play the guitar.
b)Linking Verb
 A linking verb links
its subject to a word
in the predicate
 Linking verbs
express a condition
or a state of being. The cow is blue.
1.Finite Verbs: Types
There are nine common linking verbs:
am be
are being
become
is seem was
were
To remember these linking verbs, use this saying:
All boys in school work.
am be
are being
become
is seem was
were
 A helping verb helps a verb express action.
 The combination of one or more helping verbs is
called a verb phrase.
Elmer was
using the
computer.
c)Helping Verb
1.Finite Verbs: Types
23 Helping Verbs
may be
might being
must
do
does could had
been did would has
am
are
is
was
were
(main) (main)
should have
(main)
will
can
shall
Helping Verbs
Things to keep in mind:
 Not every sentence will have a
helping verb with the main verb.
 When you see an "ing" verb such
as "running", be on the lookout for
a helping verb also.
Helping Verbs
 Sometimes there is another word
which separates the helping verb
from the main verb. One common
example is "not.”
The boy could not find his socks.
The helping verb is could and the main verb is find.
Helping Verbs
 A sentence may contain up to
three helping verbs to the main
verb.
The dog must have been chasing the cat.
The helping verbs are: must, have and been;
the main verb is chasing.
2.Non-finite Verbs
The verb that is not affected by the person or number of
the subject and the tense of the sentence is called
non-finite verb. It acts as a noun, adjective, and adverb.
Non-finite verbs are not actual verbs, the verbs
include – infinitive, gerund and participle.
Example:
• Rahul went abroad to play.
• Playing hockey is his only job.
• I have a broken table.
• This chair is broken.
