2. Definition
A verb is a word used to express some kind of reaction
which affects one or several subjects. The different languages
have a verbal structure to refer to events of the present, the past
or the future. Each language has its peculiarities in terms of
verbal forms.

3. Characteristics
The verbs have a primitive form, the infinitive,
that serves to name them.
It is a non-personal form, like the participle and
the gerund, because they do not require the
accompaniment of a person (I, you, him ...) to use them.
Verbs are conjugated, in that they can be expressed
in many ways: simple present, past perfect, simple
future, plusquamperfecto, etc.
The verbs have a root and endings or endings,
which vary depending on the time and the verbal mode.

4. Types
There are two types of verbs, the regular and the irregular.
Regular verbs are those whose construction of the simple
past is easily achieved by adding at the end the particle - ed.
could say that most of the verbs are regular.
The problem of the irregular verbs is that we will have to
learn them by heart. But returning to regular verbs must
indicate a couple of exceptions is that if the verb ends in and,
the past will be formed by replacing the and by - FDI, while if
ends in e, simply add - d.

5. Regular
Are thus called those verbs that once conjugated, i.e.
when they are no longer in the infinitive; do not change your
root. Regular verbs are characterized by following a scheme or
pattern, which is why it is less complicated to use in its various
forms in everyday speech.
Contrary to this, the irregular have alterations in its
root in some of their conjugations. Example, the verb saber
does not retain its root (I know, I know, I know). Thus, the root
(or lexeme), remains fully consistent in regular verbs, and will
evolve in the irregular.

6. Irregular
irregular verbs, as its name suggests are those which a
conjugated time change or alter its lexeme In some of its forms.
There are two types of irregularities in verbs:
the vocalicas, which occur when they affect the vowels 'e',
which makes a diphthong, and becomes "ie", when "i", creates a
diphthong "EU", either or is closed to "u".
The consonants, which are those that occur when a consonant
is added to the original root.
