The document is an extensive guide on verbs, categorizing them into various types such as action, transitive, intransitive, auxiliary, stative, modal, phrasal, and irregular verbs. Each category is defined with examples, explaining their grammatical functions and unique characteristics. Additionally, the document includes a short exercise to reinforce understanding of the concepts presented.

2. VERB?
WHAT IS

3. Verb
• A word used to describe an action, state, or occurrence, and forming
the main part of the predicate of a sentence, such
as hear, become, happen.
• From the Latin verbum meaning word, is a word (part of speech) that
in syntax conveys an action (bring, read, walk, run, learn), an
occurrence (happen, become), or a state of being (be, exist, stand).
• Is a word that expresses an action or a state of being.
• Action words.

5. VERB
TYPES OF

6. Action Verbs
• Express specific actions, and are used any time you want to show
action or discuss someone doing something.
• A verb, as run, think, or soothe, that expresses something that a
person, animal, object, or process in nature can do, as in Close the
door! or The storm is flooding many houses along the coast, rather
than expressing a state of being.
• A verbs that specifically describe what the subject of the sentence is
doing. These types of verbs carry a great deal of information in a
sentence and can convey emotion and a sense of purpose that
extends beyond the literal meanings of the words.

7. These are the
example of Action
Verbs.
•Ask
•Catch
•Cook
•Bake
•Clap
•Cry and etc.

8. Transitive Verb
• Are action verbs that always express double activities. These verbs
always have direct objects, meaning someone or something receives
the action of the verb
• Is a verb that can take a direct object. In other words, it is done to
someone or something.
• Most of the verbs are transitive.
• Is a verb that requires one or more objects. This contrasts
with intransitive verbs, which do not have objects. Transitivity is
traditionally thought of as a global property of a clause, by which
activity is transferred from an agent to a patient.

9. These are the
examples of
Transitive Verbs.
• Lay
• Played
• Pushed
• Passed
• Landed
• Applauded and etc.

10. Intransitive Verbs
• In grammar, an intransitive verb does not allow a direct object (It
may still take an indirect object). This is distinct from a transitive verb ,
which takes one or more objects. The verb property is
called transitivity.
• A verb that indicates a complete action without being accompanied by
a direct object, as sit or lie, and, in English, that does not form a
passive.
• An intransitive verb has two characteristics. First, it is an action verb,
expressing a doable activity like arrive, go, lie, sneeze, sit, die, etc.
Second, unlike a transitive verb, it will not have a direct
object receiving the action.

11. These are the
examples of
Intransitive Verbs.
•The cat purrs.
•The canary sings sweetly.
•The horse runs.
•The children laughed heartily.
•The steamer sails at noon.
•Thug sneezed loudly.

12. Auxiliary Verbs
• Are also known as helping verbs, and are used together with a main
verb to show the verb’s tense or to form a question or negative.
• is a verb that adds functional or grammatical meaning to the clause in
which it appears, such as to express tense, aspect, modality, voice,
emphasis, etc. Auxiliary verbs usually accompany a main verb. The
main verb provides the main semantic content of the clause.
• Auxiliary verbs are sometimes called helping verbs because they are
needed to form many of the tenses. The most used auxiliary verbs are
the verbs to be, to do and to have.

13. These are the
examples of
Auxiliary Verbs.
• Is
• Do
• Have
• Be
• Can
• Shall and etc.

14. Stative Verbs
• Can be recognized because they express a state rather than an action.
They typically relate to thoughts, emotions, relationships, senses,
states of being, and measurements.
• Is one that describes a state of being, in contrast to a dynamic verb,
which describes an action. The difference can be categorized by
saying that stative verbs are static or unchanging throughout their
entire duration, whereas dynamic verbs describe a process that
changes over time.
• Are verbs that describe a state rather than an action.

15. These are the
examples of Stative
Verbs.
• It appears to be cloudy.
• This song sounds good.
• I remember everything
• I believe in God.
• This shoe fits me.
• I love you.

16. Modal Verbs
• Are auxiliary verbs that are used to express abilities, possibilities,
permissions, and obligations
• Is a type of auxiliary (helping verbs) that is used to express: ability, possibility,
permission or obligation. Modal phrases (or semi-modals) are used to
express the same things as modals, but are a combination of auxiliary verbs
and the preposition to.
• is a type of verb that is used to indicate modality – that is: likelihood, ability,
permission, and obligation. Examples include the English
verbs can/could, may/might, must, will/would, and shall/should. In English
and other Germanic Languages, modal verbs are often distinguished as a
class based on certain grammatical properties.

17. These are the
examples of Modal
Verbs.
• Can
• Will
• Might
• Could
• Would
• Must and etc.

18. Phrasal Verbs
• Aren’t single words; instead, they are combinations of words that are
used together to take on a different meaning to that of the original verb.
• is commonly applied to two or three distinct but related constructions in
English: a verb and a particle and/or a preposition co-occur forming a
single semantic unit. This semantic unit cannot be understood based
upon the meanings of the individual parts in isolation, but rather it can
be taken as a whole.

19. These are the
examples of Phrasal
Verbs.
• Get through
• Get up
• Get on
• Get down
• Get along
• Get by and etc.

20. Irregular Verbs
• Are those that don’t take on the regular spelling patterns of past simple
and past participle verbs.
• Live by their own set of rules; they are the mavericks of the English
language. Most of the verbs in the English language are irregular
verbs.
• Are verbs that don’t take on the regular –d, -ed, or -ied spelling
patterns of the past simple (V2) or past participle (V3)
• Verbs that don’t follow the normal rules.

21. These are the
examples of
Irregular Verbs.
• Grew
• Drank
• Drew
• Gave and etc.
