This document discusses three important verb inflections in English: tense, person, and number. It explains that verbs are inflected for past and present tense, but not future. The future is expressed using modal auxiliaries. Present tense inflection depends on the person and number of the subject. Only third person singular subjects take the "s" form. Verb inflection also varies by singular and plural forms. The verb "to be" is an exception and has its own inflections for tense, person and number.

The document provides examples for each non-finite verb category and discusses differences between gerunds and participles. It also covers possessive pronouns and identifies dangling participles.
Verbs14
The document discusses the use of the passive voice. It states that the passive is commonly used when the agent is unimportant, understood from context, of no consequence, or less important than the action or object. In technical writing, the passive is often used. An example from a scientific article on climate change contains both active and passive constructions, and the reasons for using each are discussed. The appropriate use of the passive depends on the context.
Verbs13
The document discusses transitive verbs and the passive voice in English grammar. It defines transitive verbs as verbs that take direct objects and describes the three steps to form a passive sentence: (1) identify the subject, verb, and object in the active sentence, (2) insert a form of "to be" and change the main verb to the past participle, and (3) reverse the subject and object. The document also notes that only sentences with transitive verbs can be changed to the passive voice and that the "by-phrase" does not always indicate who performed the action.
Verbs12
This document discusses the passive voice and common misconceptions about it. It notes that the passive voice has two key features: an auxiliary form of the verb "be" and a past participle verb. Many English teachers incorrectly claim all passive constructions should be avoided or that using forms of "be" is always bad writing. However, the passive voice is only problematic when it leads to wordiness or lacks a strong verb. The document provides examples to illustrate proper and improper uses of the passive voice.
Verbs11
This document discusses stative verbs and their usage in different dialects of English. It explains that stative verbs such as be, believe, belong, exist, forget, hate, and have are rarely used in the progressive aspect and describe mental states or possessions. Some verbs can be either stative or non-stative depending on their meaning. The document also notes that Indian English regularly uses stative verbs in the progressive, unlike North American English.
Verbs10
This document discusses different types of adverbials, which modify verb phrases and other structures. It defines adverbials as adverb phrases, prepositional phrases, noun phrases, or clauses. Adverb phrases contain an adverb as the head. Typical adverbs end in -ly or convey time/manner without -ly. Prepositional phrase adverbials use a preposition and noun phrase. Noun phrase adverbials answer the question "when." Adverbials help clarify the tense/aspect when used with modal verbs, which are otherwise ambiguous about time frames.
Verbs9
This document discusses the four aspects of verbs in English: simple, progressive, perfect, and perfect progressive. It explains how each aspect is formed and provides examples of verbs used in sentences with each aspect in both the present and past tense. The key aspects are the simple (unmarked), progressive (formed with a form of "to be" and the -ing participle), perfect (formed with a form of "have" and the past participle), and perfect progressive (formed with "have", the past participle of "be", and the -ing participle).
Library use
To find an article on the environmental impact of toilet paper, search for key words like "environmental impact toilet paper" on the WSU Online Library website. After entering the library website and searching, the results can be narrowed down to find a specific article citation.
Verbs8
This document discusses identifying the subject of a verb phrase. It explains that the subject is a grammatical structure, not necessarily the topic of the sentence. The subject generally comes before the verb phrase. Tests for identifying the subject include asking a yes/no question or substituting a subject pronoun. The subject and verb must agree in number and person. Locating the subject properly is important for understanding verb agreement.
Verbs7
This document discusses how to use operators and yes/no questions to identify the subject of a verb phrase. It explains that operators are used to perform operations like negation and that the subject can be found by transforming a statement into a yes/no question that places the operator before the subject. Examples are provided that show how to transform statements like "Whales are mammals" into yes/no questions like "Are whales mammals?" to identify the subject. The subject is identified as the word or words between the operator and the rest of the verb phrase in the yes/no question form.
Verbs6
This document discusses operators and negation in verb phrases. It defines an operator as the first verb in a multi-verb phrase or the lexical verb if it is a form of "to be". Negation is formed by adding "not" after the operator. If there is no operator, one is created using a form of "do". Examples demonstrate how to identify operators and add negation. Common ESL mistakes in negation are explained. The definition of a verb phrase is revised to clarify that negation elements are also part of the verb phrase.
Verbs5
This document discusses verb tense in English. It covers present tense agreement and provides examples of subject-verb agreement errors. It also discusses the past tense, noting that regular verbs add "-ed" while irregular verbs have varying forms. The verb "to be" is an exception, having the forms "was" and "were" depending on the subject. Some modal verbs like "can" also have past tense forms. Finally, it notes that in verb phrases, only the first verb shows tense overtly.
Verbs3
This document discusses modal auxiliaries in English grammar. It defines modal auxiliaries as a type of helping verb that includes will, would, shall, should, can, could, may, might, must. Examples of modal auxiliaries being used in sentences are provided. The document also notes that verb phrases can contain both a primary auxiliary like be, do, have as well as a modal auxiliary, like in the examples "You must be joking me!" and "You can't have been drinking that much Sake!"
Verbs2
This document discusses verbs and verb phrases. It explains that verbs can be divided into two categories: lexical verbs and auxiliary verbs. A verb phrase consists of a lexical verb and any auxiliary verbs. The lexical verb is the furthest verb to the right in the phrase. Auxiliary verbs serve grammatical functions and help lexical verbs. There are two types of auxiliary verbs: primary auxiliaries, which are formed from have, do, and be, and modal auxiliaries. The verbs do, be, and have can function as either lexical verbs or auxiliary verbs depending on their use in a phrase. Examples are provided to illustrate lexical verbs, auxiliary verbs, and how do, be, and have can be either.
Verbs1
This document defines and provides examples of the different forms of verbs in English:
1) It discusses the base form, -s form, progressive (-ing) participle form, past tense form, and past participle form of verbs. It notes that verbs are "shapeshifters" that can take on different forms.
2) Examples of regular verbs like "cook" and irregular verbs like "sleep" are provided to demonstrate how the different forms are constructed.
3) Special attention is paid to the irregular verb "to be", which has unusual forms like "is" for the -s form and "been" for the past participle.
V1
The document provides four definitions of verbs from different sources between 1968-present. Definition 1 states a verb shows an action, Definition 2 says a verb is the central unit that expresses action, states of being or occurrences. Definition 3 is more complex, stating a verb expresses an act, occurrence or mode of being and changes form based on subject and tense. Definition 4 focuses on structural and functional properties like verbs marking tense, aspect and agreement. The definitions note verbs can express different ideas and change form, and behave in certain ways like forming questions. Meaning-based definitions are confusing while structure/function definitions provide tests to identify verbs.
Mp3 issues
This document provides guidance on improving MP3 summaries. It identifies common problems such as lack of attribution, inclusion of personal opinions, and issues with speech. The document recommends avoiding self-introductions and instead beginning with an attribution and clear topic. It stresses the importance of periodically attributing information to the source and restructuring information without conclusions. Well-structured summaries should include a single opinion question connected to the summary and restated in different ways. The document also addresses pronunciation, using dictionaries, and maintaining a slower rate of speech to improve oral summaries.
Question formation
The document discusses how to form yes/no and wh- questions in English. It explains that yes/no questions are formed by moving the first verb in the verb phrase to the front of the subject. For single verb phrases, an auxiliary "do" verb is added. Wh- questions are formed by first making the sentence into a yes/no question and then replacing the questioned part with a wh- word like who, what, when, where etc. Examples are provided to demonstrate question formation with various sentence structures like coordination and subordination. The key steps of identifying the verb phrase, moving/adding verbs, and replacing parts with wh- words are outlined.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex Proofs
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

- 1. Verbs 4: Three Important Inflections (Changes): Tense, Person, Number Materials by Liz Siler
- 2. Inflection #1: Tense • Do not confuse “tense” with “time.” These words are sometimes wrongly used interchangeably. • Time is a concept in physics. With respect to time, English speakers recognize three general times and many more specific ones: past, present, and future. • However we only inflect (change) verbs for two tenses in English: past and present. • Tense is only shown on the left-most verb in a verb phrase.
- 3. Expressing The Future • We express the future by adding on modal auxiliaries such as “will” “may” and “shall” to the base form. However the lexical verb itself does not inflect (change) for a future tense and the modal is in the present or past tense. There is no future tense in English. • Examples: – I will visit my friend’s house this weekend; – I shall return; – He may arrive late/ He might arrive late.
- 4. The Present Tense • To understand present tense inflection we must first understand two other very important inflections: person and number.
- 5. Inflection #2: Person English has three persons: First person --- The speaker refers to him/herself as “I” or to the group he/she belongs to as “we” (or an equivalency) I own two cats. We enjoy them a lot. Second person -- The speaker talks to a person or persons generally addressed as “you.” You sneeze around cats, right? Third person -- The speaker talks about some other thing(s) or person(s) using “he” “she” “it” or “they” --- or equivalencies. They are black.
- 6. Inflection #3: Number • English verbs can show two numbers: 1 (singular) and more than 1 (plural). • For each person, there is a singular and a plural version.
- 7. Person and Number: Subject Pronouns SINGULAR PLURAL 1st PERSON I WE 2nd PERSON YOU YOU (ALL) 3rd PERSON HE/ SHE/ IT THEY
- 8. Present Tense • English overtly marks present tense ONLY with a third person singular subject. • That is where we use the “s” form of the verb. • For subjects in all other person/number combinations, we use verbs only in the base form. • EXCEPTION: The verb TO BE.
- 9. Ex: Present Tense: TO COOK • Singular Plural I cook we cook You cook you (all) cook He/she/it cooks they cook
- 10. Verb TO BE: Present Tense Singular I am You are He/she/it is Plural We are You (all) are They are
- 11. Present Tense: Usage • When the lexical verb is in the present tense in English, it generally describes an ongoing condition/state rather than an action happening right now. – My husband (= he) is an artist. – He throws pots on a wheel. – The images on his art(= they) reflect underelements of society.
- 12. Past Tense • The past tense is also an inflection. • Unlike the present tense, in which person and number of the subject is very important in determining the form of the verb, the past tense does not overtly mark person and number. • Verbs are the same form (the past tense form) in all persons and numbers. • Exception: The verb TO BE.
- 13. Example: Past Tense: TO COOK • Singular – I cooked – You cooked – He/she/it cooked Plural we cooked you (all) cooked they cooked
- 14. Past Tense: The Verb “To Be” • Singular – I was – You were – He/she/it was Plural We were You (all) were They were
